I remind each of us of the power of quiet time, time alone
with God. Far too many people see it as
a task that needs to get done rather than a blessing. This is not prison sentence but a time a
purpose. This is not a have to but I get
to. It is not getting your quota of
Scripture reading and prayer done but a few minutes seeking God and not missing
the greatest parts of that day and every day.
Isaiah 55:6 NASB
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.
Colossians 4:5
NASB
Conduct
yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.
Jeremiah 33:3 NASB
‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you
great and mighty things,
which you do not know.’
Those three
verses speak volumes about our choices and for the opportunities that are ahead
of us. Choose to spend time with God on
a daily basis.
Seek the
Lord. This happens in so many ways. It comes through the music we listen to and
even in the conversations with have with other people. It begins with our perspective on life and
what expect from God.
Make the most
of the opportunity. Taking time to make
a difference is something that means much to me. I bet it does to you as well. Wasting time, wasting opportunities is
something we can make our minds up about now.
Use what you have or lose.
Call to Me, to
God, and I will tell you great and might things. Our God is personal and interacts with us
every day. We can turn the other
direction and even dismiss the things of God or a relationship with Him, or we
can choose to listen and learn from all He wants to share with us.
Decisions are
difficult. Yet even the smallest
decision may have a big impact on our lives or on the lives of the people we
interact with.
Matthew 11:28-30 NASB
Come
to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is
light.”
