In the past year or so I have, with God's help, been getting up and spending time in the Word and in prayer. One would think after all the years in the church, I would have figured this out a long time ago. Stubborn selfishness kept me from doing what God wanted me to do and that was get up, be quiet and commune with Him. It has been a good year and He has been faithful.
In Exodus 33:14 He says "I will personally go with you." What a promise. God cares about me and my life in a personal way.
The devotional today speaks of quality time and quantity time. It has become an important time in my daily routine to spend this time alone with God. I listen to inspirational music and chorus'. I read His word in both the new and old testament's to learn how to live each day. Then I have a prayer list to follow to be consistent, both in praising Him and bringing others before Him. Sometimes I have an hour and a half and sometimes a half an hour, but I try to spend it in communication with Him.
If I miss this time alone with God, it gives Satan a weapon of attack and frankly, I really feel the loss of that time.
Was it easy to start this routine? Of course not, but I finally just did it. If you have been thinking of starting a daily time alone with God, then just do it.
