[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 100]] ## Title: Don’t Ignore the Lord ## Scripture: (Psalm 100:3) “Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us and we belong to him, we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever had someone avoid you? I have. It’s an odd situation. You realize they see you. You see them making eye contact. However, they keep going as though they don’t. I’ve done this before. There was someone I was supposed to have a meeting with and I completely missed it. I was so ashamed. I was young at the time and thought the best way to avoid my mistake was to pretend it wasn’t there. Finally, that person walked right up to me and said, “Where were you?” I had no excuse. I offered my apology and it was received with no problem. They said it was completely fine. They had made that mistake, too, and still wanted to get together. It was way easier than I realized. Do we sometimes avoid God for one reason or another? I bet we would find that if we come to Him, He is not mad at us. He is longing to fellowship with us. He would forgive us of any sin and restore our fellowship. Whatever may be holding you back from spending time with the Lord, don’t let it stop you another second. Go straight to Him in prayer and watch what happens. ## Application: Take time to pray to God today and tell Him if there is anything that causes you to sometimes avoid spending time with Him. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for Your grace.
