The Lord has many desires for those who love Him. He speaks to us through Hosea 6:6, “Loyalty is my desire, not sacrifice, not whole-offerings but the knowledge of God” (NEB). We can sacrifice all our time, effort, and money to the things of God, but what He really desires is for us to give Him our minds and heart, and to get to KNOW HIM. Spend time communicating with God, and everything else will fall into place. Seek to HEAR His voice. Seek to UNDERSTAND His Words that are written down for us. No earthly works will satisfy, but only be in constant contact with His Spirit here in this realm, instead of with ideologies, factions, and worldly knowledge which will all pass away. Within our relationship with God are all the answers. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (KJV). What peaceful and comforting words. We need to meditate on them much!
