God Wants Us to Cling to Him!
Posted by: | Comments“As a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I created Judah and Israel to cling to me, says the Lord. They were to be my people, my pride, my glory–an honor to my name. But they would not listen to me.” Jeremiah 13:11 (NLT)
When I think of clinging, I am reminded of my kids when they were toddlers and would cling to my legs. Never before have I thought of this as something God would want. The picture that comes to my mind is “weak, frail, & needy”. Yet that is the word picture we are given in this scripture. He wants us to cling to him… like a little toddler would to his mother.
Are you clinging to God or something or “someone” else? Have you been clinging to a relationship or a person so tightly that you have lost your self in the process? We are to cling to God and love others.
Are you clinging to God for your protection, security, and love? If not, maybe that is why you are feeling unloved, insecure, and unprotected. When the storms of life pour down on your relationships; CLING to God!
How? Read his word everyday. Pray constantly. Get support from others who can pray with you.
DO NOT GIVE UP!

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT)
Marriages are the school God uses to teach us how to love no matter what. There’s no better environment for God to use than your relationship with your husband. When you go through seasons of pain and incompatibility, DON’T GIVE UP!
Remember God only gives you circumstances He knows you can handle. You may not think so, but He does and that is all that matters. Do not depend on what you feel today, what you see today, or what you know today…today is temporary. Keep your eyes on God; He can see tomorrow.
