It happened again.
I got focused on my daily agenda, and I neglected time in the Word.. I neglected time in fellowship before starting my day, and my mind drifted slowly, but surely, away from being constantly in communication with my Father.
"That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done; And there is nothing new under the sun.." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
So this isn't the first time this has occurred, and I do what I normally do to rekindle the flame in my soul.. read my devotionals and a solid chapter from one of Paul's letters.
And God is faithful.. Even when I am not.
In my devotion from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young I'm stopped by the words: "Trust me enough to spend ample time with Me, pushing back the demands of the day.." Demands of the day.. The first demand I can think of is my hunger pains. Spending time with my Jesus should come even before eating my breakfast.. So that's one thing I can do.. Vow to spend time in the word before eating breakfast.. If I don't, no breakfast for this girl!
"..Man shall not live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
Thank you Lord, for Your steady hand.. A revelation, and motivation to keep seeking after You, even when my heart isn't completely in it, YOU bless obedience!
"But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does."
(James 1:25)
"And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
(Romans 8:28)
