The Lord sat me down to write. I did so, attentive as to what to put on paper . . . . and . . . . nothing. I didn’t have any idea what I was to write. Hmmmmm . . . . . .
I prayed. Ah, ha . . . . then the ideas fused together. I had a connection with God as to His words.
In our busy world, it’s sometimes difficult to connect with others for many reasons (or excuses): time, responsibilities, opportunity, energy, distance, motivation, and numerous other factors.
As Jesus' followers, we truly don’t have a reason, an excuse, not to connect with Him. He’s always available, 24/7, residing in you. It only takes a few minutes at a time to stop and speak to Him. We don’t necessarily have to read an entire chapter of the Bible at one sitting, because often a single verse speaks volumes at the appropriate time.
He’s available and prepared for us now. Are we available? Sometimes instead of doing, we just need to be – be ready and accepting to Him. Tame the day-to-day obligations and make sure to spend time with the Almighty. Accept the blessing of His time!
For some, it may be their lack of hunger that keeps them from connecting to the Father. Oh, my, He is so worth our desire to talk to Him, study His Word, and personal worship with Him!
Matthew 6:9-16 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
Prayerfully, your sister in Him,
Robin
