MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8)
Take time. Give God time to reveal Himself to you. Give
yourself time to be silent and quiet before Him, waiting to
receive through the Spirit the assurance of His presence
with you, His power working in you.
Take time to read His Word as in His presence; that
from it you may know what He asks of you and what He
promises you. Let the Word create around you, within you,
a holy heavenly light in which your soul will be refreshed
and strengthened for the work of daily life. (Andrew Murrray)
PRAY ABOUT IT: In many areas of our life, time seems to be
the enemy. We have so many possibilities for use of our
time - - - possibilities that our ancestors never dreamed of.
But in our pursuit of God, time can be our friend. God will
not be the kind of friend with whom you can hold a casual
acquaintance, and perhaps exchange greetings only at Christmas. God wants the kind of relationship that only time
can buy.
Time with God may not be a recent invention, but it's as modern and up-to-date as the newest computer technology.
But we must take the time to be with Him. Savor the minutes
in prayer as you would the taste of a good meal. Taste and see that the LORD IS GOOD!
When we rob God of time for quiet, we are robbing Him
of ourselves. It is only in the quiet that we can really know
Him and know ourselves, and be sure that we give ourselves
back to Him. Oh, for God's sake, do not risk keeping the windows of heaven closed by robbing God of time.
