I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”
Psalm 16:2 NASB
The Bible makes clear that the presence of God is a central goal in God’s redemptive mission. God writes Himself into His own story to bring about our salvation. He wants to us to dwell with Him forever, and within that realm comes love, esteem, praise and regard for Him. Amen.
When we read His word and take time to “hear” what He has to say, we’re growing inwardly. We need to separate from worldly pastimes, and insidious nonsense, that isn’t important here, let alone in Heaven.
We must take the time to seek Him first and foremost, and listen to Him, and submit to His will. Whatever He says, His desire is for us to commit to do it, and follow due course of such.
When we spend with the LORD, He invariably will have something for us to do. Whether it is to “contact” someone, to be a witness for someone, or to do something in which He guides us to do.
It’s so precious our time with Him, more so than anything we can do this day. It’s a vital part of our existence, our ability to endeavor to do things in a way that is destined to please Him, and therefore bring about the best possible outcome for our lives through Christ. For He wants us to prosper, and to be successful in all we do. Jeremiah 29:11
When we talk with Him, or sit quietly and “listen” to Him, with hearts yearning, and desiring to do His bidding, and a genuine need to praise, and worship Him…we are working in a capacity, that will ultimately bring about rewards not only here, but most especially in Heaven.
Without Him, in the circle of life, we get stuck in a “rectangular” existence. His voice lends clarity in all things, in all circumstances, in all areas of life. His love goes beyond anything that we’ve ever known, or could ever comprehend. His promises will never be broken. His words will never return to Him void. Isaiah 55:11
In the center of that circle, is His Sovereign, and Omnipotent power. We are the recipients of His grace, and love. He is the living nucleus of all things important. Our surge of placid peace comes from spending time with Him. Every single day.
Spend time with Him, be patient, and wait upon the LORD, (Psalm 46:10) and understand that in any relationship, communication is “key” to growth. And growth of the Spirit comes from spending time with our Father, each and every day of our lives, now and always.
Do you know Him? If not, may I invite you to open His book and spend some precious time with Him? Because being loved by Him, is the best kind of love of all time. That is a fact!
“Father, thank You for “speaking” with me through Your words, and Your Spirit, I enjoy my precious time with You, may I seek You all the days of my life, in Jesus name, Amen.”
