Get There! Spend time with God.

Spend time with God!

We think we're so special somehow, because of our times and affluence.

We are special, and at the same time I fear we're " wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked," just as Jesus described the Laodicean church in Rev 3:13-19.

I hear the Lord saying to me, "You've got to spend time with me. In the mornings would be best. You need to be under the waterfall of my presence; then go from there refreshed, washed, and well to face the day ahead - sensitive to the presence and leading of my Spirit." We need to make it a habit! It's our part, of living a "Spirit led life."

I went to hear Dr./General/Pastor H.D. McCarty speak at the Muldrow High School last night, where the churches and pastors of the city are hosting a unity meeting! One of many tidbits of spiritual food I came away with was this. "Yes every Christian needs to rise early to spend time with the Lord. We think so that we can enjoy a Spirit led productive day. That's true. But if you do, you've already experienced the most powerful and important activity of the day!" Amen.
Our pastor is away spending 2 1/2 days with God as I type. Thank God for him and his leadership in this important area.

Happy reading, praying, meditating, and habit building. -=db=-

"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 NIV)
