Here are some questions to ask ourselves when considering how close we want to be with God…

Is my heart HUMBLE before God?

17    The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,

                         A broken and a contrite heart—

                        These, O God, You will not despise. (Ps. 51:17)

 18    The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,

And saves such as have a contrite spirit. (Ps. 34:18)

 

Is my heart HONEST before God?

Ps. 51:1-4

Is my heart HEARING the voice of God?

1 Samuel 3:1-10 – “Speak Lord. . .”

Is my heart HUNGRY for God?

1    As the deer pants for streams of water,

                         so I long for you, O God.

                        2    I thirst for God, the living God.

                         When can I come and stand before him? (Ps. 42:1-2)

Is my heart Ready to Obey Without Question?

Galatians 2:20

 

Is my heart at Rest in God’s presence?

Ezekiel 36:26-27
