Meeting God

Meeting God “Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway” Proverbs 8:34 If we’re going to be effective in hearing God and successful in walking with God, we have to develop certain habits. Staying close to God requires that we develop the habit of spending quiet time with Him. Developing that habit is critical to our growth in Christ. If we are going to be effective in hearing God, we have to do certain things over and over again. That is something called our daily devotions. When you do this, God will begin speaking to you. Successful people develop habits that unsuccessful people are unwilling to commit to. Jesus made it a habit to spend time with the Father. You can celebrate God in a crowd, but you can only know God one-on-one. You need to develop a habit of coming to Him one-on-one. You need to decide when is the best time for you to spend time with him, by reading the Bible, and seeing what He is saying to you. God is speaking to you through the Bible. The best time to meet with God is: When You are at Your Best. If your best is in the evening, then meet with Him in the evening. If your best time is in the morning, you meet with Him in the morning. God deserves the best part of our day, not the leftovers when I’m tired and I say, “Oh, I have to read. I need to read chapter … oh, this is so boring.” Reading the Bible is not boring. It is because I’m so tired that it seems boring. God deserves the best part of our day, and not only the best of our day; He deserve our best every day. Develop the habit of meeting God every day, and spending time with Him, praying to Him and reading His Holy Word. God expects us to come to Him daily, and to hear him, as He will lead and guide us to fulfill the plan He has for us. Have a meeting with God every day. Robert W.
