I want you to think back to when you met some of your closest friends. Did you enjoy being around them? You probably laughed a lot with them, or just had so much fun with them that it made you want to be with them more and more.
Our relationship with God should be like that. We should enjoy time in God’s Prescence. Check out how King David described his time with God in today’s Bible verse.
There I will go to the altar of God, to God—the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God! – Psalm 43:4 (NLT)
David called God the source of all his joy. Wow! What a relationship David must have had with God.
God is calling you to the same kind of relationship with Him as David had. Believe it or not, you can enjoy time with God. And if you don’t, if it seems like a struggle or something you forget to do each day, take some time and get real and honest with God.
Let God know that you’re struggling, but that you’d like to spend time with Him. Then get quiet and let God speak to you. You might have an idea of how to make time with God more enjoyable just pop into your head. That’s God’s leading. He will help you so that you can learn to enjoy time with Him, just as David did.
