Bible verses for the Day Song of Songs 2:13; Luke 10:42 Come away with me for a while. The world, with its nonstop demands, can be put on hold. Most people put Me on Hold, rationalizing that someday they will find time to focus on Me. But the longer people push Me into the background of their lives, the harder it is for them to find Me. You live among people who glorify busyness; they have made time a tyrant that controls their lives. Even those who know Me as Savior tend to march to the tempo of the world. They have bought into the illusion that more is always better: more meetings, more programs, more activity. I have called you to follow Me on a solitary path, making time alone with Me your highest priority and deepest Joy. It is a pathway largely unappreciated and often despised. However, you have chosen the better thing, which will never be taken away from you. Moreover, as you walk close to Me, I can bless others through you. from Jesus Calling God is in your corner The Lord himself will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forget you. Deuteronomy 31:8 When I was seven years old, I ran away from home, Id had enough of my fathers rules and decided I could make it on my own, thank you very much. With my clothes in a paper bag, I stormed out the back gate and marched down the alley. [But] I didnt go far. I got to the end of the alley an remembered I was hungry, so I went back home. Though the rebellion was brief, it was rebellion nonetheless. And had you stopped me on that prodigal path... I just might have told you how I felt. I just might have said, I dont need a father. Im too big for the rules of my family. I didnt feel the rooster crow like Peter did, I didnt feel the fish belch like Jonah did. I didnt get a robe and a ring like the prodigal did. But I learned from my father on earth what those three learned from their Father in heaven. Our God is no fair-weather Father. Hes not into this loveem and leave em stuff. I can count on him to be in my corner no matter how I perform. You can too. from The Great House of God
