Supply and Demand
And my God will meet all of your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
Lord, I have no idea what to write! I need help. I have one more devotional to post for this week and I ended up using the usual Friday contributor's devotional for today. Please Lord give me a word.
That has been my prayer throughout the afternoon. You would think that since I have been talking on the COF radio program about the Bible and how God speaks that I would be primed to share. Alas, I will speak to you from my heart and I hope that it will minister.
I have struggled with having quiet time with the Lord. Yes, even after being a Christian for 39 years I have fought a battle that was worth fighting. I would be so' wishy-washy' in the time I would spend with God. I would go along just fine and would do well. Then suddenly something would grab my attention, and I would be off and running. I have a terrible time staying on task. I can multi task, but not complete all that I am working on.
Finally, in February of 2008 I went to another wonderful Circle Of Friends event and we all received a one year Bible as a gift. Since that time I have forced myself to sit down and take the time I need to spend with God. It has been wonderful. I had to force myself in the beginning, but now it is something that I do because I desire to. I need to have it a part of my day or I feel like I have lost something very important. Which if I do miss it, I really miss it!
God has been so patient with me. He has never stopped loving me because I did not spend the amount of time with Him that I should when I read His word. I did have a very active relationship with Him. I have a wonderful prayer life. I tend to have running conversations with the Lord. I often find myself talking to Him out loud and do not even realize it. We spend a lot of time together. I remember a lot of scripture because of songs that I have sung for many years, but there is still nothing that I have found that even vaguely comes close to spending time with God.
Take the time. You will find it is the most precious time and you will soon find that your day just is not complete until you do.
Lord, thank you for speaking to my heart, and I ask that You would speak to those that are reading this and minister to the needs in their hearts. You have the supply to our demand! Amen.
