Recently I made a commitment to spend daily time with God in prayer, bible reading, devotional reading and journaling. I am going into my third month of having a daily quiet time with Jesus. It’s a process of having a relationship. To truly have a relationship with someone you must spend time with them. One day last week I skipped this quiet time. I simply was selfish and said to myself “I don’t want to take the 20-30 minutes to pray, etc.” so I didn’t do it, not because I forgot or got busy but simply because I was being selfish. My day went on and I felt empty. The next morning while praying God revealed to me that my selfishness was hurting me. This time with God has become nourishment to me. It fills my soul and keeps me going and I was choosing to literally starve myself for a day. I hurt God by choosing not to spend alone and quiet time with Him but I also hurt myself.
I read in my bible story after story of great people who God used to do great things and the recurring theme is that these people chose to constantly seek God. By taking a few moments time in the morning to be alone with God it reminds me to seek Him in all aspects of my life.
I have so much to learn…..
