How incredibly stupid would be for a married couple who is having trouble with their marriage to consult a marriage counselor, understand what the hindrances in their relationship is, being told how to eliminate those hindrances, yet leaving and doing nothing to fix the relationship?
That would be totally stupid right?
We say so...but in reality we do the same thing all the time when it comes to our relationship with God. Our relationship with God is the single most important relationship of our lives...yet it often gets the least amount of our attention. Why is this? Why is it that we sit in sermons and have some guy or girl tell us what we need to do...yet leave and never do it?
I can't answer that question for you. I imagine each individual has their own reason. But what if instead of ignoring our relationship with God...we actually took the time to cultivate it. What if...instead of ignoring the hindrances in our relationship with God...we actually took the time to work through them...with God? Imagine the implications this could have on your life.
Take some time and seriously consider these questions:
1) What are the top five things that hinder your relationship with God?
2) What are some practical things can you do to overcome or get rid of these things that are hurting your relationship with God?
