Alone Time

There is great wisdom to be found in alone time with God. In a world filled with busyness and a culture that seems to demand social interaction, spending time alone with God has taken a backseat. The benefits are enormous including allowing God to speak to your heart and giving you time to unload all your cares and concerns on him. Take time to be alone with God. 

With Bible in hand and an attitude of prayer, make time to get alone with God. Share

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. -Mark 1:35

Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine By Max Lucado We talk about "grace periods," "falls from grace," "grace notes," and "graceful" dancers---but do we understand what this all-important word means when God uses it? In his latest faith-stretching, heartwarming volume, Lucado challenges readers to be changed, shaped, strengthened, emboldened, softened, and "shaken to their senses" by Jesus' radical mercy.

Just Consider

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained…(Psalm 8:3)

“When I consider…”  That is the problem.  We do not consider!  The truth is that we do very little considering.  We spend very little time observing or thinking upon all that is around us.  Therefore, we know little about our Creator and give little thanksgiving for what we have been given.  

What a shame!  We are so busy living our life that we have no life.  Consumed by the desires of the world we fail to really see the world.  Pursuing disappearing pleasures, we miss the joy of what we have and the Glory of Him who granted it!

Take the example of the Palmist and pause to consider the wonder of all that is around us and learn the true Glory of God.
