Deuteronomy 34:10-12, Joshua 9-10
The last subtitle of our lesson on being positive is “Keep Growing in
Your Relationship with God.”
There’s only one way to truly grow in any relationship and that is found
in 34:10 speaking of Moses, “…whom the Lord knew face to face.” A deeply intimate and personal
relationship with God is done alone, face-to-face with Him. Most of us worship our church
attendance and our salvation, but never commit to a daily communion with Him.
Think of it this way. How
silly it would be for me to think that the best way to have a personal, loving
relationship with my wife, Betty, would be to join a group that met once a week to sing love songs to her. Afterwards,
we would listen to one person explain to all of us how I could better love
her. Then if I really loved her, I
would join a smaller group and meet once a week to study a book about her. I would imagine the greatest marriage
I’ve ever known would never have been.
Face to face is the only way to really have a personal relationship with
anyone, your wife or God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth.
