Going Deeper

Job 12:22 - "He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death".

Luke 5.4- "Launch into the deep" God has something supernatural prepared for you! Our walk with God is one discovery after another. We are discovering another side of who God is or we are discovering our own depravity. Shallowness is easy achieved when we bypass the waiting process. The objective of stillness is that we have a deep trust and a radical confession is born; like Job "If He slays me, I will trust Him". Job was not even concerned about results anymore. All of who he was, was wanting to know all of who God is. Gods desire is to bring us closer to him and to have us dig into His "mine" of His riches in Romans 11:33. I am remembering one Cancer patient that i visited in the hospital. I half expected to see this person scared and depressed in her bed; but to my delight she was supernaturally rejoicing and glowing. She was not a prisoner to her illness but she had gone deeper with God. Her cancer was an opportunity to know God in a personal way. I will never forget that visit, she ministered so much to us.

As God causes us to wait on him, and go deeper, we discover His faithfulness in the the face of defeat. Time only hides what God has completed. Our walk with God goes beyond knowledge and ritual and becomes a living, rich relationship. Ps 92:5 "O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very deep". May we go deep with him in prayer and expectation so that we don’t become a causality of superficiality. 2 Timothy 3:8 says "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting". To follow Him and to transfer our trust onto Him moment by moment is true fulfillment and this depth reveals the treasures of God; Deep peace, hope and wisdom. Eph 3:18- "May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height".
Isa 37:31- "And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward".

As we look back, may we look up, for we are in a deeper place with God than we were before.
