I came to know the Lord Jesus because of great need in my life…
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)." Psalm 91:1 AMP
You know what? Coming to Him out of our need is okay. Our need is fulfilled in His ability to turn our mountains into level plains, to heal our sickness – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – and our need for His love to fill our lives.
Nevertheless, at some point, the Holy Spirit nudges us to love the Lord Jesus simply for Who He is, not what we can get from Him. This nudge happened for me not so many years ago and I never want to go back. Yes, life gets in the way and I get distracted. Yet, in His presence, overwhelming stuff that comes my way just doesn’t have the ability to bowl me over like it once did.
Yes, all of Psalm 91 is awesome and its promises are for everyone, but the condition is a daily, deeply abiding in-love relationship with the Creator. What could be more wonder-filled?
