“COME AWAY WITH GOD for a while. The world, with its non-stop demands, can be put on hold. Most people put GOD on hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on The LORD. But the longer people push GOD into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find HIM. You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives. Even those who know The LORD as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world. They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity. GOD has called you to follow HIM on a solitary path, making time alone with GOD your highest priority and deepest Joy. It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised. However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you. Moreover, as you walk close to GOD, HE can bless others through you.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” SONG OF SONGS 2 : 13
“But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” LUKE 10 : 42
Personal Note: I can testify from 1st hand experience of the improvement and enrichment in my life and the kind of man I am since I started spending daily time with The LORD in prayer and Bible study at what was a very low point in my life due to my own mistakes almost 9 years ago. Before then I was a Christian but like many didn’t have a “personal relationship” with The LORD
Prayer: Lord help me to make time alone with you and let that be my highest priority and deepest joy each day. Don’t let anything stand in the way of this precious time with you. Fill me with all peace and joy today by the power of the Holy Spirit. Use me to be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
