Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt

How many times have marriages gone south, because two people got married in haste and all of a sudden realized the person they thought they were marrying was not the person they married. There are so many people that don’t have a relationship with God, because the God they have a relationship with is not really God. This entire series is based on this premise: God wants to have a personal, eternal relationship with you.

I know that because of one simple statement that Jesus made. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray He gives them what we call “The Lord’s Prayer” and He begins with a revolutionary thought that knocked them off their feet. He said that you begin by calling God, “Our Father.” God is not just the God who parts seas, sends plagues, writes commandments on tablets and destroys nations. He is a God who wants to relate to you as a Father to a child.

This is so vitally important and so relevant to you, because the single most important thing about you is not how much money you make, not what you look like, not how popular you are or how prosperous you are. The most important thing about you is how you see God.

The reason is simple. If your view of God is wrong then your view of life is wrong. Your view of success is wrong. Your view of what is really important is wrong. Key Take Away: The most important thing in life is to have a real relationship with the real God. It is vitally important that you see God the way God sees himself. We are going to find out in an incident that took place, in the life of a man, named Isaiah, over 2500 years ago the God we must relate to. It does no good to get up close and personal with a God who is not real. Before we can begin to share with you how you can relate to God we have to make sure we are relating to the right God and the real God.
