"Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning."
Hosea 6:3
Every age has its own characteristics. Right now we are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us.
In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.
The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.
If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity.
Now as always God discovers Himself to “babes” and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few).
We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood.
If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.
When religion has said its last word, there is little that we need other than God Himself. The evil habit of seeking “God-and” effectively prevents us from finding God in full revelation.
In the “and” lies our great woe. If we omit the “and” we shall soon find God, and in Him we shall find that for which we have all our lives been secretly longing.

Lord, let me seeks after you and you only.
Amen.
🔴📌 Prayer of The Day 🙏💜✝️
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:11–12, NIV
Lord our God, we thank you for allowing us to be called your children.
We thank you for giving us the power to become more truly your children,
so that there may be a witness to your name on earth,
so that again and again in the name of Jesus Christ new power may come for body and soul, for the happy and unhappy,
for all who are still following false paths, for all who suffer so much grief, fear, and need.
We thank you and we praise your name.
Help us on our way. Help us weak people who often grow anxious and afraid. Help us in everything.
Help us especially in the concern we have deepest in our hearts, that your name may be honored, your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Amen.
