My
Heart Has Heard You Say,
“Come
And Talk With Me.”
And
My Heart Responds, “Lord, I Am Coming.”
Scripture
Psalm
27
1 The Lord is
my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
2 When evil
people come to devour me,
when my enemies and foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
when my enemies and foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though a
mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident.
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident.
Observation
At
our house, when Kathy and I first get up, she goes to her quiet place
and I go to mine and we take time to pray and spend time with God in
His Word. Nothing is more important … nothing!
There
are times when I have to be somewhere early that I will read and have
my quiet time the night before or I will get up an hour earlier, but
this is the exception for me and not the rule.
I
love spending time with the Lord in the morning and yes, I know that
you might be a person who stays up late and loves to spend time with
the Lord at night.
The
main thing for you and the main thing for me is that we spend time
with the Lord every day.
Let's
not let social media rob us of this … in fact, let's not let social
media rob us of spending time with our family and friends!
Let's
not be glued to our phones or tablet or our computers unless we are
using them to read our Bibles.
Let's
quiet ourselves so we can hear the Lord saying, “Come
and talk with me.” And so we can respond, “Lord, I am coming.”
Application
I
will be in this sacred spot in my bedroom spending time with the Lord
every day.
How
about you? Do you have a quiet place where you meet the Lord every
day?
Mark
1:35
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.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for meeting me this morning in our very special
place. Don't let me miss a day. I always want to be excited about
spending time with You. You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You
call me Your friend even though I don't deserve Your friendship.
I
pray for those who are tired and weary today. Give them strength.
Help them open up Your Word and spend time with You so they can be
strong!
Isaiah
40:31
31 but those
who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
