Don’t Leave Home On Empty

And to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19

When you drive you certainly would not venture out on a long trip without first filling up the gas tank on your vehicle. Similarly as a believer you should not venture out of your front door without first filling up your spiritual tank.

How do you do this? First don’t compare yourself to sister Suzy Q who you hear may read her Bible for an hour, go to all sorts of Bible studies and pray for hours. God does not want us to compare. Whatever works for you the important thing being to make it happen. There is not a certain amount of time and God standing there over you saying “that’s not enough” but instead he wants your love, faithfulness, devotion. One theory I once heard was to tithe your time similarly to how you tithe your income so however many hours you are awake do you only give the Lord crumbs?

Now is the time as the year starts to draw to a close to get serious about your quiet time. You don’t just exist for yourself but you exist to bring glory to God by your actions. I know how easy it is to stay glued to your TV or computer and then it is 10 at night and whoops no God time. Pray about what you should do then go have a blessed day.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus I love you and I love spending time in prayer and reading your word or a devotion book or watching a Christian preacher on TV. Guide me as I seek to put you truly first. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
