". . .Earnestly desire to get alone with God. If we neglect to do so, we not only rob ourselves of a blessing but rob others as well, since we will have no blessing to pass on to them. It may mean we do less outward, visible work, but the work we do will have more depth and power. Another wonderful result will be that people will see "no one except Jesus" (Matthew 17:8) in our lives."
"The morning is a critically important time of day. You must never face the day until you have faced God, nor look into the face of others until you have looked into His, You cannot expect to be victorious, if you begin your day in your own strength alone.
Begin the work of every day after having been influenced by a few reflective, quiet moments between your heart and God. Do not meet with others, even the members of your own family, until you have first met with the great Guest and honored Companion of your life - Jesus Christ.
Meet with Him alone and regularly, having His Book of counsel open before you. Then face the ordinary, and the unique, responsibilities of each day with the renewed influence and control of His character over all your actions."
The above are excerpts from my Streams in the Desert devo that stood out to me this last week. I generally read my Bible at night as I tend to be less bleary-eyed then. But still, starting the day with time in prayer and time before Him consistently before I jump out of bed and into the bustle of my day is something I need to improve. Thankful for the reminder! :)
