“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 The LORD’S Presence, GOD does HIS best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with GOD, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what HE has planned for you. Do not seek The LORD primarily for what HE can give you. Remember that GOD, the Giver, is infinitely greater than any gift HE might impart to you. Though GOD delights in blessing HIS children, GOD is deeply grieved when HIS blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from The LORD as your First Love. When GOD 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: 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: God I know that nothing is as important as spending time with you. Help me to push back the clamor and to do lists of the day and sit in your presence, resting with you and in you. What a precious gift. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
