A Day With God

In about 1o days, we will start a new year. Not only a new year, but a new decade. I want to take a few posts here in the next few weeks to share some things that the Lord has helped me discover that may be a benefit to you as you plan into the coming year. I am afraid that our New Year's Resolutions are often weak and repetitious. It may help some of you to think differently about them this year.

Here's an idea....

I strongly suggest that you set aside and plan (at least) ONE DAY PER MONTH WITH GOD! Spend a day a month with him. Write "GOD" in your calendar.

What do you do all day?
  • Get away to a quiet place or a park and think.
  • Read the word in an extended and reflective way.
  • Pray extra long.
  • Listen intently.
  • Prayer walk.
  • Read a book that boosts your faith.
  • Rest in the Lord.
  • Turn off phones and computers!
Once a month. Consider it an untouchable appointment. I have done it for the last 6 months and it has been transformational. Try it! Come on! See what happens. If you say that you are too busy for this, then you need to rethink some stuff.
