Today's Daily Bread
Time For A Change
Many believers long to spend daily time with God, praying and
reading His Word. Ironically, they are often distracted by a busy
schedule. Frustrations mount as busyness seems to crowd out an opening
in their schedule.
Oswald Chambers has wisely commented on the transforming power of
even 5 minutes in the presence of the Lord. Indeed, even a short time
spent in intercession and the Word still has great value: “It is not the
thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing
that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is
worth more than all the rest of the day.” Now, it may sound like
Chambers has made an overstatement. Yet powerful results can come from
even a short time of prayer, because God is powerful.
Sometimes our days are filled with busy demands that crowd out time
spent in listening to and responding to God. But no matter where we are,
any time taken to build our own spiritual “altar” to the Lord as Abram
did (Gen. 12:8) opens the door to His transforming power. If you are
having trouble establishing a time with God, you could start with just 5
minutes and see where it leads. Our God longs to meet with us and show
His power in our lives.
Lord, it’s amazing to me that You, Almighty God,
would want to spend time with me! Thank You.
I stumble with my words at times but am in awe of
You. Thank You that You want to hear from me.

Talk with God—He wants to hear your heart.
