Time For A Change
September 19, 2013

Many believers long to spend daily time with God, praying and reading His Word. Ironically, they are often distracted by a busy schedule. Frustrations mount as busyness seems to crowd out an opening in their schedule.

Oswald Chambers has wisely commented on the transforming power of even 5 minutes in the presence of the Lord. Indeed, even a short time spent in intercession and the Word still has great value: “It is not the thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is worth more than all the rest of the day.” Now, it may sound like Chambers has made an overstatement. Yet powerful results can come from even a short time of prayer, because God is powerful.

Sometimes our days are filled with busy demands that crowd out time spent in listening to and responding to God. But no matter where we are, any time taken to build our own spiritual “altar” to the Lord as Abram did (Gen. 12:8) opens the door to His transforming power. If you are having trouble establishing a time with God, you could start with just 5 minutes and see where it leads. Our God longs to meet with us and show His power in our lives.

Lord, it’s amazing to me that You, Almighty God,
would want to spend time with me! Thank You.
I stumble with my words at times but am in awe of
You. Thank You that You want to hear from me.

Talk with God—He wants to hear your heart.

Read: Genesis 12:1-8

There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord. —Genesis 12:8

Bible in a Year:
Ecclesiastes 1-3; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...a good day? Good commutes?
New timing working well for you?

Slammed today!!! I ran out of time to make corrections. I let some just go through as is because that’s the way they were entered. I try to fix as many of those as I can but....oh well. And this new system is S L O W !!

I’m staring at a desk filled with papers. Tomorrow is soon enough to figure out what they are and where they go. And I feel like death warmed over with a horrid head cold and coughing.
