Matryoshka Doll

Are you seeking a deeper relationship with God? What level has been revealed in your life?

Are you familiar with a Matryoshka doll? It's also known as a Russian nesting doll or a babushka doll. It's a "doll" figure made from wood and it divides, top from bottom, to reveal another figure inside. A set of dolls of decreasing size is found one inside another. The dolls are often decorated with beautiful painting, which can be extremely elaborate.

Now, think of it in this terms. When it comes to your relationship with God, think about this "nested doll principle". When you first begin to understand and seek God's will in your life, it's like the outside of the Matryoshka doll. Yet so much more lies within.

Are you seeking a deeper relationship with God? What level has been revealed in your life? Psalm 92:5 says: "O LORD, how great are Your works! and Your thoughts are very deep."

The more you seek His will in your life, the more you develop a profound, multi-layered relationship with your Creator. Are you continuing to look inside the Word of God to reveal more? James 1:25 "But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does."(NKJV)

A right relationship with God uncovers real meaning in your life. In fact, God promises to unveil what is contained in His plan. "For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God." (1 Cor 2:10 NKJ)

So be committed to open up your spiritual Matryoshka doll and make it your goal to develop a deep relationship with your Creator.
