Developing a deep, personal life of worship is crucial for a vibrant relationship with God. Without a personal and communal approach to worship, our connection with God can become stale. To foster this relationship, we must keep God in focus, continually discovering who He is.

Psalm 27:8 and James 4:8a emphasize the importance of seeking God’s presence and drawing near to Him. Start by taking the initial step towards God, which involves a sincere desire to know Him. God has already reached out through Jesus Christ; our response is to express our desire to be close to Him.

A practical way to start is through prayer, asking God to reveal Himself to you. Begin each day with a prayer like, "God, I want to know you," and make time for this personal connection with Him. Utilize tools such as the Bible, devotional books, or apps like YouVersion to guide your spiritual journey.

The process of getting to know God is gradual, much like tasting a meal. Begin with small, intentional steps: read the Psalms, meditate on one attribute of God, and reflect on how His character has impacted you recently. Keep a journal to track your reflections and growth.

As you engage with God’s Word and prayer, focus on the quality of your spiritual time rather than the quantity. Allow the attributes of God to resonate deeply, and carry these insights with you throughout the day.

By making a daily appointment with God and incorporating regular prayer and reflection, you will find yourself growing closer to Him. Remember, the key is to stay committed to this personal journey, and you’ll see how your understanding and relationship with God will flourish.
