Weekend Devotion

Have you enjoyed God lately? I mean really just taken a moment to fit in that time to really enjoy Him? All believers should be striving for a deeper intimacy with the Lord, but sometimes we don't think of intimacy in its fulness. Tragically, when I think of intimacy with God, I immediately go to the typical Sunday school answers of read my Bible more, pray more, and do more good deeds. While these are very important, do we seek moments to really enjoy Him. I love reading my Bible, but it does become a chore sometimes, even if it is important. I love the opportunity to pray, but sometimes I feel like I'm sitting in the dentist chair going through the motions. Have you spiced up your relationship with him to truly enjoy Him?
One of my most enjoyable moments with God happened while I ran in the rain. I had about five miles to run to get my training in for the day. It was getting close to sunset and the sky just began to poor with water. I was drenched, the wind was strong, and I was miles from any type of shelter. And who was I thinking of at the moment? Jesus! Flashes of lightening in the sky widened my eyes at his majesty. The thunder shook my ears with an authority only possible by God. The whistle of the wind brought imaginations of the day of Pentecost. I didn't say much, but when the rain started to fade, and the clouds parted, a simple "I love you" went forth from my mouth to Him. The pleasure of the moment was so great, that was all I could utter. When was the last time you were romantic with your God?
