This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.
Joshua 1:8
We all desire more. We want to grow deeper with Christ, but we don’t give Him the time to help us. To go deeper we must spend time with Him. Quality time. Time to dive into God’s Word and we must choose to sit, wait and listen. Far too often our time with Christ is spent talking, but we don’t leave enough time to hear from Christ. We don’t allow Him to speak to us.
Be quiet and still… just listen. Let your mind and thoughts be cleared from the troubles of the day and all of the things that you need to get accomplished. Read God’s Word… you don’t need much. Just a simple verse that God speaks to you will have great meaning when we meditate on it and listen to what Christ speaks regarding it. Give yourself time to truly hear and listen to Christ.
We know how much of a difference it makes on our day, so why would we allow the rush and busyness to get in the way? We need this more than Christ does, He enjoys our company. He wants us to love Him enough and to follow what His Word says. For then we will make our way prosperous, and then we will be successful.
