    Why do we Pray? Why do we read our Bibles daily? Why do we Give? Why are we at the Church when the doors are open? Do we think that by doing these things that we are earning "points" with God? Are we trying to obligate God to bless us? Duty or Desire?

    The Presence Of God Illustration In 1943, a lady by the name of Rhea B. Miller wrote one of the greatest hymns ever written: I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS!

    I want to ask if you crave the Word of God? Do you have a deep desire to get into it, and when you do, do you have trouble putting it down? Do you get a kind of euphoric feeling when you read something that perhaps you have not read before?

    We are called to live intentionally, to desire to know who loved us most. This means we live fully for Him, and He gives us a model (and a promise) to follow. It’s not to exalt another human – but to live for God because of His promises! Abram shows us how and why this is important.
