And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 

Mark 1:35 (KJV)

 Praying and finding time each day to spend with our Father is crucial to our well-being. It’s imperative to operating on a tranquil and optimum existence.

The “Book of Life” the Father’s Holy Word is training for our souls, sustenance for our bodies, and nourishment for our overall health.

While praying, we must be diligent not only in His Word, but “listening” to His Word.  And, while “Hearing” His Word is important, having “Faith” is an inherent part of who we are as followers of the Word and of the LORD.

Faith, meditation in His Word, and the discipline to “go off in prayer” each day with the Father could mean the difference between “Life” and a mere “existence” on earth. Everything is so much better when we are connected and deeply rooted in Him, His Word, His commandments, and His love.

Whereas, prayer and Faith is the panacea of our lives, conversely, Prayerlessness will be the result of many adverse scenarios in life.

A closed Bible means “closing oneself” off from the protection and armor of the LORD.  Prayerlessness is an open invitation to “fiery darts” and all kinds of wordly garbage to infiltrate our hearts, body, mind and soul.

Trust Him in all you do.

Follow Him and obey Him in all you do.

And, thank Him for all He is and all you do.

Make a sure decision each day to find time for Him, to listen, to hear, and to obey Him.

Remember, each decision you make is important, and each decision you make makes you.  

So, if you have a “closed Bible” may I invite you to “Open it” and then open yourself up to His love, there is nothing else like it in the world!

“Father, thank You for Your Word, Your protection, Your love, may I always seek Your face each day early, and in all I do, may I give You the glory and honor, and may I never cease loving You, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Psalm 63:1 (NKJV)

Joy in the Fellowship of God

A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

 
O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
