Our Daily Devotion from Dr. Charles Stanley for 10/04/14 Prayer: Our Time Saver Psalms 143:5-12 What do you think about when you wake up? Are your thoughts instantly focused on the day ahead, or are they centered on the Lord? Although most of us have busy lives that consume much of our time and attention, the most important and time-saving part of each day is that spent in quiet solitude with God. Yet many believers feel so rushed that they dont think theres time for the Lord. They immediately jump onto the treadmill of life and then wonder why theyre so frustrated, confused, and dissatisfied. Even if their desire is to follow God, they dont know where Hes going since they havent stopped to get directions for the day. Theres also a disconnect because theyve ignored their relationship with Him. No one can have intimacy with Christ without daily communication. Perhaps the problem is our own human logic. We think spending time reading the Bible and praying each morning will result in having less time and lower productivity. However, when we seek Christs direction and wisdom for the day and invite Him to control our lives, Hell accomplish more through us than we can do by ourselves. Hell give us wisdom for good decisions, increase our strength and energy, and free us from time-wasting anxiety. Are you too busy for the Lord? If so, youre denying yourself the blessing of an intimate relationship with Christ. When you make time for Him, Hell fill you with peace and joy, guide your decisions, grant you wisdom, empower you to obey, make you more productive, and comfort you with His love.
