Moses records a special message God gave to him in the verse below. God wants us to seek His Face, not just His Hand; what He can do for us. He wants fellowship, but it starts with our spiritual thirst to know Him more intimately:

"When You said, “Seek My face,”My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” (Psalm 27:8)

In relationships, spending time together is the primary means of growing closer; this is somethings we all know instinctively. It's not a surprise to anyone when relationships break up because there was a lack of time, not only willingly spent, but happily spent together, which often times is the result of a lack of communication.

This is true in regard to friendships, romantic relationships, parent/child relationships; all of them, and it is of the utmost importance regarding our relationship with God.

Ways to spend time with God:

Every Kind of Prayer: Intercession, Petition, Blessing & Adoration, Thanksgiving, Praise or simply Hanging out with Him without a specific prayer; just talking....

Talk to Him throughout the day. Make prayers for the things you need on a regular basis, like sound sleep; whatever your having trouble with

Keep Him in your thoughts at all times, whatever you're doing consider Him and inquire of Him.

Other Good Habits That Will Get You And Keep You Close To God And Help You Grow Spiritually:

Reading the Word: God's Word is God's love letter, one of the ways He talks to His people and prayer is our way of talking to Him.

*******IMPORTANT NOTE--There is grave danger in not knowing God's Word. With the new Governor of New York talking about how the vaccine is our savior and God gave it to us for healing; it's quite an eye-opener as to what kind of extreme misconceptions we can develop when avoiding reading His Word!

Listening to Sound Preaching

 
Meditating on the Word

***Studying Scripture/relying on Holy Spirit inspiration and discernment of meaning and messages in the Scriptures; praying your way through (NOTE: Studying the Bible is essential for spiritual growth, without this vital component; you run the risk of stagnation)

Worship

Turn words of songs into Godly ones, in your head only, unless you have kids that like to sing too!

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1Thessalonians 5:16-18)
