Recently I have thoroughly enjoyed falling deeper in love with the one and only God who is joy unspeakable and full of glory. I want to be a part of an unspeakable joy and I want to be full of God's glory, I want to delight in the things that delight the Lord, I want to celebrate when God celebrates and I want to feel what God feels. I think about Enoch a person who "walked with God", who found his joy not in the things of this world but in the Creator of everything. His relationship with the Lord was in tune with God just as King David's heart and songs were for the Lord and therefore Enoch now walks with God in eternity. My hope is in the Lord I want it to be living as the apostle Peter writes "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him, and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
J.I. Packer writes in Knowing God "What were we made for? To know God. What aim should we set ourselves in life? To know God. What is the 'eternal life' that Jesus gives? Knowledge of God. 'This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you have sent' (John 17:3)."
I have found that what I read, that meditating on the Lord, that where I place my affections and that those who I let influence my life have a profound effect on falling deeper in love with the one and only God.
