Finding Christ in Every Moment

For Christians interested in a deeper life in Christ, know that the Lord Jesus permeates every moment, every circumstance, every breath. He is in the midst of your joy, and He is equally all up in your suffering. Perhaps even more so in your suffering.

On the one hand, your mission is to seek, to find, and to realize Him subjectively, experientially, in each of these moments. 

Admittedly, this is easier in the believer’s private time with the Lord or in corporate worship than, say, during an argument with one’s spouse or in a moment of severe physical injury. In each of these moments, somehow find a way, in Him, to turn your heart, gather your spirit, your innermost being, and turn to the Lord, finding Him as the supply of whatever it is you are lacking.

The easiest way for me is to simply, calmly, quietly, deliberately, intentionally, and lovingly, call upon His name.

You can consult my earlier posts on how to do so here, here, and here, and my earlier YouTube videos here, and here.

Even if you feel like you can't find Him, as long as you are turning to Him and reaching for Him, you are under the influence, leading, and inspiration of His Holy Spirit.

On the other hand, another way you can find your Lord in each moment is just to realize that you are always in Him, and that He is always in you – when you feel it, and especially when you don’t – and just exercise faith in that reality, abide in that faith, and praise and thank Him for that, knowing that subjective experience follows divinely-given faith in divinely-revealed fact.

May the Lord be with your spirit.
