Main Scripture: Very early in
the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off
to a solitary place, where he prayed. (Mark 1:35)
In today’s scripture we see where Christ took time away from his work
and friends to spend personal time with God. This time spent with God is quite beneficial
and is as important as our necessary food. As a matter fact it should be
priority and we should try our best to spend time with God at the beginning of
our day like Christ did. Ladies you will also find that it is time well spent
as spending time with God:
Deepens Your
Relationship with Him – When we enter into a relationship with anyone, we usually
take time to get to know them by spending quality time with them. In the same
way we need to spend quality time with God in order to strengthen our
relationship with Him. This time should be spent communicating with Him, listening
to Him and getting to know Him by reading the Bible. James encourages us to
draw close to God and He will draw close to us (James 8).
Strengthens You
spiritually - Our bodies are made up of body, soul and spirit. Our bodies are
nourished by eating food, but our spirit receives its nourishment from spending
time with God. Also the Lord is the source of our strength as such we much
spend time with Him to access this strength (Psalms 105:4).
Allow you to
know the mind of God with regards to his plan and purpose for your life – The Lord has a
plan and purpose for each and every one of us.(Jer 29:11, Eph 2:10). When you
spend time with God He will reveal His plans and purpose for your life.
Reveals Ideas – The Lord will reveal ideas to you when you are in His presence. For example, it was while I was having some personal time with God the idea for this devotional came to me. As such while spending time with God you should also listen.
Reveals Ideas – The Lord will reveal ideas to you when you are in His presence. For example, it was while I was having some personal time with God the idea for this devotional came to me. As such while spending time with God you should also listen.
Provides peace - Normally when
you are anxious and worried about something a good place to find peace is in
God presence. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us to pray and the peace of God will
guard our hearts and minds.
Let’s Pray
Father, today we thank you for being there for us. We
thank you that we have access to you through your Son Christ Jesus. Father God
help us today to be diligent and purposeful about spending time in your
presence Lord as our spirit man needs to be nourished in the same way our
physical man needs nourishment. We thank you Lord for being our strength, for revealing
your plans and ideas to us and for giving us your peace.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Have a
God Filled Day Ladies
