LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)
""It's time to seek the Lord"(Hosea 10:12NKJV)
TIME TO SEEK THE LORD
The place of prayer is where you meet with God to be instructed, corrected, cleansed, loved, built up and prepared to do His will. It can be anywhere, but it must be somewhere! It can be anytime, but it must be a set time, without prayer, what do you have to draw on ? You will work harder and harder and accomplish less and less because you are operating in your own strength. But after you've prayed you will struggle less and accomplish more because you are operating in God's strength. If you are spending hours watching television but say you've no time to pray, 'its time to seek the Lord. ' if you are living comfortably with sin that once trouble you, 'it time to seek the Lord'. If you're speaking word of bitterness towards someone who hurt you, 'its time to seek the Lord'. If having material things consumes your energy that there is none left for God and your family, its time to seek the Lord. The New Testament Church grew so fast that the Apostles found themselves with no time to pray. So they said,... Its not right...'(Acts 6). That's where you must start ! If you have forsaken the place of prayer, it will show up in your attitudes and actions. What did the Apostles do? They said,'...we will give ourselves to prayer...(Acts 6:4). And look at what happened, '...the word of God increased, and the number of disciples multiplied....'(Acts 6:7). If you've gotten this far with little prayer , inconsistent prayer, no prayer at all, think about how far you will go when you begin to pray.
Prayer Point
Father God, draw me to your presence and cause me to know you better in Jesus name.
