1 Corinthians 3:16
MAKING GOD REAL IN YOUR LIFE
This verse says that God dwells in us. If God dwells in us and even makes a temple in our hearts, we should be aware of his presence. In other words, God should be real to us. The song says Jesus (God) is real to me. How can we acknowledge and feel that God is in our lives? In the first place, we need to think about God daily. As we go through our day, every now and then, we should recognize God’s presence. Here are some ways to do this
I A good way to do this is to make some statement, quote a Bible verse, or pray a sentence prayer to make you aware of his presence.Some pray a breath prayer several times a day. For example, breathe in when you say The Lord is my shepherd and exhale and exhale when you say I shall not want.We just want a constant reminder that God is real and with us in our lives
II The second thing is that we need to read about God. Make it a daily practice to read a portion of the scripture.Many people have dozens of Bibles in their homes, but never read them.We get to know God through his scripture. Let him speak to you through his Bible.
.
III The third way to make God real in your life is to pray to him. You cannot make God real in your life if you never talk to him as you would to another person. Pray out your praises to him. Let him know your requests.Tell him what is going on in your life even if He already knows it. If you do these practices daily, God will become real in
your life.
Another way is to dedicate some job or task to God.Talk about the task when you begin and when you finish.If you put these suggestions together, you will find that God will become real in your life.
