Psalm 34:8 (KJV)
In our human interactions, when we have chosen someone of interest with whom we want to develop a closer relationship, we begin the exciting process of getting to know all we can about them. Indeed, we "study" their moves, attitudes, likes and dislikes - and we begin to behave in a manner that we know is pleasing to them. We do these kind and attentive things to show ourselves in a favorable light, so that this special person will accept and choose us.
With God, the process is different because we don't choose Him first. It is after we learn/hear that He loves us, and loved us FIRST, that our hearts begin to turn toward Him; the godly seed is planted. The Bible tells us everything we need to know about the character of God. And when we study His moves, attitudes, likes and dislikes, the godly seed is watered. A transformation begins to takes place, and day by day our desire to live to please Him grows. Through prayer and study of His Word, our one-on-one with God is strengthened and beyond exciting!
