And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Whatever time you have chosen to give to the Lord each day, increase it
That is the main way we grow and are strengthened in the things of God
The days are getting very evil and deception is getting stronger
It is vital that we stay close to the Lord
and hide in the shadow of His wings
Reading and meditating on His word
our relationship and understanding of God will be built up and nourished
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 12:34
Maybe you haven’t yet decided to give the Lord an allotted time,
Start with prayer
Ask Him how much time you should spend with Him each day
Be faithful to Him to honor that time allotment as much as is possible
Ask for wisdom about how to spend that time
Bible reading? Prayer? Being quiet before Him, listening?
Whatever He shows you
This is your relationship with Jesus
Could be different each day
There are really no binding formulas
The Holy Spirit will honor your dedication
and meet you if you seek Him with your whole heart
It is very important to spend time with Him as often as is possible
Will you give up your favorite show?
Take a walk so you can pray and listen?
Maybe dedicate some of your commute time to listening to the bible
There are so many ways we can honor Jesus that will fit into our lifestyles
Some will be a sacrifice, others, we’ll just think,
I’ve never thought of doing that, that makes perfect sense for me
Seek Him on this
We all need to be listening very closely to His direction right now
Increasing our time with Him is crucial
The days are getting very evil
Scriptural References:
Psalm 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God;
in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,
even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
