“GOD IS LIFE AND LIGHT IN ABUNDANCE. As you spend time “soaking” in GOD’S Presence, you are energized and lightened. Through communing with The LORD, you transfer your heavy burdens to GOD’S strong shoulders. By gazing at The LORD, you gain HIS perspective on your life. This time alone with GOD is essential for unscrambling your thoughts and smoothing out the day before you. Be willing to fight for this precious time with GOD. Opposition comes in many forms: your own desire to linger in bed; the evil one’s determination to distract you from GOD; the pressure of family, friends, and your own inner critic to spend your time more productively. As you grow in your desire to please GOD above all else, you gain strength to resist these opponents. Delight yourself in The LORD, for GOD is the deepest Desire of your heart.”
Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. PSALM 48 : 9
About Benjamin he said: “Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders.” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 12
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. PSALM 37 : 4
Personal Note: I know how easy it is to get distracted when trying to spend time alone with The LORD in prayer or studying HIS Word. During the summer months I don’t have to get up as early due to not having to get kids up and ready for school so I get to sleep in later. That means that by the time I’m ready to sit down and spend time in morning prayers and bible study before I start my work day sometimes the work related emails and notices have started to flow and is easy to think “I’ll do this one quick thing” and lose track of time and end up with less time or no time to spend in studying HIS Word.
Prayer: God help me to fight for spending time in your presence each day. When I do, you help me in so many ways. To see things from your perspective, to transfer my burdens to your strong shoulders, and to unscramble my thoughts. Thank you sweet Jesus. Amen.
