A Regular Meeting Jan 20 2010
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed." - Mark 1:35
You know, one of the reasons I love to be at the Sea of Galilee region in Israel is because it's one of those places where you can still see what it was like in Jesus' day. It's a place where you can very easily visualize Jesus wandering up in the hills - whether in the early morning, early evening, or even in the middle of the night - and finding a quiet place, just to spend time with His Father. So, I ask you, "If Jesus, the Son of God, needed to spend time with His Father, don't you think you do, as well?"
Let me share a personal insight. On my own, I am too selfish, too lazy, and too busy to arrange regular time alone with God. I just don't have the discipline to make that happen. And I'll bet you have the same issues standing between you and a direct relationship with your Heavenly Father. If so, here is my secret to overcoming my self-made obstacles and creating a lifestyle of regular time alone with God - ask Him. Simply ask God to give you the hunger to know Him and the determination to make it happen. He'll be glad to teach you how to create the discipline and opportunity to have a regular meeting with Him!

Yes, report it NevermindI have to admit there are times I feel guilty when I realize I started the day without thanking God for the opportunities and privileges I have. Suddenly I realize my day isn’t starting off good I then put everything on hold and find a quiet place to Pray and Thank God for what I have. To be honest if the phone rings or doorbell rings I put them on hold realizing God doesn’t put us on hold he is beside each and everyone of us no matter what the circumstances are.

Yes, report it NevermindThe best days are always the ones that I start with prayer. I don't mean that everything goes my way, but that I respond to everything that happens a little better than I would have without that time with God.

Yes, report it NevermindThis doesn't have anything to do with today's message, but I just finished reading Mitch Albom's book: "Have a little Faith". I thought it was great and recommend it to all.
