XAt times, I long for a deeper level of intimacy and fulfillment that no one individual could possibly provide. Sometimes I crave conversation with someone that I can trust my thoughts with. I long to bask in a special love that not even my best friend (my husband) can give. It is at those times that I must tell Jesus I am thankful for the times when God calls me out to spend time with Him. I have heard it said that “loneliness is an invitation from God to spend time with Him.”
XAs much as I long for and need this time with God, I believe that one of God’s love gates is time. He longs for us to separate ourselves unto Him and spend time each day with Him. God loves us to honor Him each day with a gift of time. I would like to challenge you to schedule some time with the Lord each day.
XIn my early years with the Lord, someone shared a simple formula for reading God’s Word. It was to read a chapter of Psalms, a chapter of Proverbs and a chapter of the New Testament each day. In addition to this reading, spend time with Him in prayer. I have used this formula for years. I spend time praising God for who He is, thanking God for what He has done and confessing my sins. I pray for others and I pray for myself.
XIf you long for intimacy that no one can give you, this is a good place to start. We are experiencing as much of God as we want. He is there waiting for us to come to Him. Let us make it a part of our daily routine. We should teach our children to have a time with the Lord each day. Over the years, I have heard ladies say, “I want my children to want to spend time with God. Is it right to make them have devotions?” I say to you that if you want your children to learn to brush their teeth every day, you must spend time teaching them to brush their teeth correctly. More than clean teeth, we should want to teach our children to have a walk with God. It is okay to make them spend time with their Creator.
XPsalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
