Good Morning Friday...
Father thank You for this NEW day. We ask that you OPEN our HEARTS and MINDS to YOUR infinite GRACE, WISDOM, and PEACE, so WE may SERVE You in the manner most PLEASING to YOU. IN Your Mighty Son YESHUA, JESUS CHRIST's name we pray. Amen. - The Almighty Creator Of Heaven And Earth Is Calling... It's For You. How much quiet time have we spent with God lately? Most of us live busy lives. Most of us are going here and there from the time we wake up, constantly going to and fro. Maybe we have tried to make some quiet time with God, but just haven't been successful. This last year has been particularly difficult for many and time is precious to us. It is true that we make time for the things we Love though, right? So why not make time for Our Heavenly Father? After all, He Is Our Creator, King, Parent, Protector, Helper, Savior, Redeemer, and... The One from Whom All Good Things Come. Let’s be honest. When was the last time you got down on your hands and knees and spent time in prayer, or found a quiet place alone and read The Bible? You may ask the question back: "Isn't that why we pay preachers? Isn't this why we read Christian Books or listen to Christian Podcasts?" If these are questions that go through our mind... we may be getting a thrift store, used, second hand kind of relationship with The God of All Creation, Our Father. Here is another question: Do you spend time thinking and planning where you would like to go for vacation? How about this: Do you spend time thinking and planning what you want to eat? What about romance, do you spend time thinking about another and planning for the future? We wouldn't let someone tell us where or how to handle each of these things, would we? So why would we want someone else to tell us about Our Father, God, The Creator of All Things? Why wouldn't we go to Him ourselves? There are certain things no one can do for us. We make time for the things important to us. If your spiritual Life feels flat, lacking, or you just don't "feel" the presence of God in your Life... maybe you need to get to know Him better and spend some extra time with Him. After all, how can you get to know someone without spending time with them? The answer is, you can't. You can read notes, files, and others' assessments of someone, but it is never the same as "knowing" them. It takes spending time with Our Father In Heaven to truly get to know Him. When God asks for your attention, would you send someone in your place to speak with Him? God doesn't want you to blow Him off. If you invited someone over for dinner or to spend time together, they said yes, and then they sent their aunt or cousin over in their place, how would you feel? Our Father doesn't want a "stand-in," He Wants Us Personally. Our Father In Heaven Has Invited Us On A Vacation. He Has Invited Us To Feel His Loving And Merciful Nature Upon Us. He Has Invited Us To Have Shalom, His Divine Peace. In fact, He Has Invited Us To Dine With Him And Feast At His Table! How exciting is that?! If we but spend a little time self-disciplining ourselves to make time for God, He Will Show Us Things More Incredible Than We Could Ever Imagine. With just a little bit of training, our time with God Our Father can be the greatest part of our day. May we all spend some time thinking about the questions above today and we will revisit this subject again tomorrow as we close out our week. Remember, God Loves Us, Wants To Spend Time With Us, And Has Invited Us To Spend Time With Him. Our spiritual phones are ringing and God Our Father Is On The Line. Will we answer that call? God Bless Everybody and have a Yahweh Rapha (The God Who Heals) - Filled Day! The Word of God: “Yeshua answered him, “If someone loves me, he will keep my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” Yochanan (John) 14:23 “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Revelation 3:19-21 “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” Mark 13:30-33 “Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come to you. Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; You will remove iniquity far from your tents.” Job 22:21-23 “‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’” Jeremiah 33:3
