“BE STILL IN GOD’S PRESENCE, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with GOD. While you wait in GOD’S Presence, GOD does HIS best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with The LORD, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what GOD has planned for you. Do not seek GOD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, the Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift HE might impart to you. Though The LORD delights in blessing HIS children, The LORD is deeply grieved when HIS blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from GOD as your First Love. When The LORD is the ultimate Desire of your heart, you are safe from the danger of idolatry. As you wait in GOD’S Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: JESUS CHRIST in you, the hope of Glory!”
Scripture
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12 : 2
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love. REVELATION 2 : 4
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. COLOSSIANS 1 : 27
Prayer
Prayer: Lord, help me to be still in Your Presence, setting aside the distractions that clamor for my attention. Renew my mind as I sit with You, teaching me to value the Giver above the gift. May You always be my first Love and the ultimate desire of my heart. Amen.
