Special Time
Stay alert; be in prayer so you don't wander into temptation without even knowing you're in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there's another part that's as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."
Matthew 26:41 Message
This verse reminds me that we all need that daily time alone with Jesus. The world is full of all kinds of things that can consume our time and energy. Some are good and some are not so good for us. Hanging out with Jesus helps us to differentiate between the two.
There is not a specific amount of time that is 'required' - so we can measure what is enough by the peace we have in our hearts.
God will always give us a nugget to carry with us when we give Him some of our time. That verse of scripture that jumps off the page at us is like a never-ending (no calorie) cookie that we can nibble or feast on through out the day. It will give us wisdom and guidance for making good choices as well us the comfort and strength to get through the day safely.
Daily time alone with Jesus is essential to our growth. Our relationship with Him and our maturity level will not deepen unless we make time for Him a priority in our life.
Set aside some special time everyday just for you and Jesus. You'll be glad you did.
