One-On-One Time

Thanksgiving week was a good week. We had fun getting together with the relatives and spending some good one-on-one time with the kids. There weren't the normal distractions of school and work. This made our interactions more precious since there was nothing to disrupt our time together.

Shouldn't we relate to God in such a way? Shouldn't we give Him more one-on-one time so we can get to know Him more intimately? It is easy to allow distractions to interfere. Since we can't "see" God, we sometimes neglect His presence even though He is with us always.

How can we generate some quality time with the LORD? Try getting up early and reading through a chapter in the Bible. There are limited distractions when you are awake before everyone else in the household. The phone isn't usually ringing off the hook, and the kids aren't asking you where they put their homework or for the new shirt they were going to wear.

By creating a habit of early morning fellowship with God, we are opening ourselves up to hearing what the Creator of the universe has to say. And He has lots to say; like how much He loves us and how much He wants us to seek Him when we have doubts and to cling to Him when we have fears. Getting to know God is a good thing. Try it. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you, and you will be blessed by the one-on-one time you spend with the LORD of Lords.
