Why Press On To Know The Father?

...Let us know Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord. His going forth is prepared and certain as the dawn, and He will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.

Amidst all the great benefits of walking with God, some days in our walk with Him may not be as exciting as we hope. There could be seasons of uncertainty, periods of disappointment, times of loneliness or moments of doubts. If you are in any such situation, you may ask yourself things like: "What is the point holding on? Why should I remain in faith? Is God really with me?" The testimonies and miracles you have had in the past with your Loving Father may not seem to have weight anymore. The question still remains - Why press on to know more about your Father?

There is something about your Loving Father that you should know. His coming through for you is as prepared, secured and certain as the return of the morning after a dark night. No matter how long the night may seem, there will be dawn and there will be day. It is something to expect and be hopeful for, because surely your morning will come at the appointed time and it will not fail. Nothing or no one else can give you this assurance. 

He shall come to you as the rain upon the dry, mown grass. This is rain which revives, makes things fruitful, beautifies, and gives a new face. So shall your restoration be when He finally comes through. You will experience a rejuvenation, a fruitfulness and a beauty that will give you a new and comely countenance.

This is a time to know more about your Loving Father for yourself. Press on to know Him, for He is faithful.

Prayer: My Loving Father, may I always remember that You will respond to me as surely as the arrival of dawn and the coming of rains in early spring. May I continually put my hope and trust in You, for it is only You who can give me the assurance of the future I hope for. While I press on to know more of You through Your word, teachings, and Your creations, I pray for the grace to be patient and to wait on You alone, my faithful Father. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Suggested Prayer Point for yourself – Pray for a heart that does not question God with fear, doubt or disbelief. Pray that should you have questions for God, let them be questions that will enlighten you and help you know more about Him. If there has been any time when you doubted God or bore a grudge against Him, pray for forgiveness of this. Pray that your heart will continue to pant after Him.

Pray for someone today - Pray for those in emotional prisons. Pray for those who are not free because of unforgiveness or some things that may have happened in their past.  Pray that the healing touch of God will heal them of the emotional pains and release them from behind the bars they have put before their lives. If you know of any person in such a situation, pray specifically for that person.
