"Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
Sure, we love to spend our morning's with Jesus. A reading of a random chapter or two of the book of Psalms, a few seconds of prayer, and maybe a minute or two of listening. But we have things to do in the mornings. We're on a tight schedule. It's not really our fault if God doesn't speak to us in the time period that we give Him. Right?
If you haven't been hearing God speak to you lately, maybe you haven't been taking the time to hear. So if you're reading this, I challenge you to a 30 day challenge. For 30 days, get up 30 minutes earlier than you normally would, and use that time doing whatever you want with Jesus. Talking to Him, asking Him, listening to Him, singing songs of praise to Him, memorizing scripture, whatever it is you feel He wants you to do that day, do it. And don't use this as a substitute for whatever time you already spend in devotions. Let this be a time to transform you and refresh you. Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for Him. If you feel Him telling you to spend more time with Him, adjust what time you get up at so you can spend more time.
Jesus loved you enough to not only make sacrifices for you, but to be the sacrifice for you. Can't you give Him 30 minutes for 30 days with you?
