We are getting a little old, and way before time for us to lay our heads down at night, I'm longing for my pillow. Most nights I am asleep before I know it. I love my rest time and the most exciting part of my nighttime rest is that I am very close to my get up time to spend a couple of hours with the Lord. I just love getting up; Jesus on my lips, go through my morning routine, Jesus on my mind, sitting at my desk with my devotionals and Bible in fingertip reach, the Holy Spirit stirring my heart, and this very special time I can spend with the Lord becomes more precious every morning.
I can't imagine anything else that is more important than this precious time with HIM who saved me, loves me, encourages me, leads, guides and protects me. I realize how blessed I am. David is saying the same thing I believe. He longs for that early morning hour when it is just him and the Lord, that time when he can refill that spiritual thirst of our Holy God, as no water can satisfy. Yes, God can and wants to spend the same time with each one of His children. Sometimes I think that all over the earth Christians are calling on God in their worship and study time the same time I am, and yet He hears ME.
Christian, have you a dedicated time you spend with the Lord in a one on One relationship? A time you can pray and thank Him for all the goodness in your life? That time you can express your love for Him in a way that would be pleasing to Him. We should ever desire this in our lives. He is the One that will meet our every need and many of our "wants". Don't miss out on what God has for you by avoiding your devotion time.
Lost person, you don't have that relationship and until you take Jesus as your Saviour, you NEVER will. This time is for God and HIS children. You cannot expect anything from God if you do not recognize Him as for Who He is, Jesus as His Son, and the Holy Spirit, our comforter. God is gracious and merciful, and He is not willing that ANYONE should die in their sin and go to Hell. Hell was made for one reason; the devil, and his demons. It was not created for you or me. Today, yes, Today make Jesus your Saviour. Learn to grow in God's love, experience that one-on-One love He has for all of us. Join a good local New Testament Bible Believing, God Fearing, King James Bible Preaching new testament church (I choose to be a Baptist for many reasons, if you heard the real truth, not fake news, you would understand why.) But I do know this, as a young Christian you will need this church to help you in your journey to Heaven.
Follow After Christ Aways!
HE LOVES US!
