Church Notes: Desperation

What caused Abel to devote himself to God? What was going in Enoch's life that he walked with God? What was Noah doing that he alone was righteous? How was Abraham so fully tuned in to God? They sure weren't perfect. Except for Abel and Enoch, the Bible tells us about plenty of sins and failings. Yet they are the ones listed in the "Hall of Faith" in spite of all that. What so drew them to God? They were desperate to KNOW God. There was no good enough, far enough. There was no settling, no comfortable. These men never stopped chasing after God. We can read that in their stories. They messed up majorly sometimes, but they still pursued that relationship with God and mind-blowingly amazing things happened. They made a deliberate choice not to be satisfied with where they were. I want to be that DESPERATE.
