Your quiet time with God is more than just a good idea, it’s vital to your spiritual survival. It’s also essential to your spiritual growth and maturity.
Why do you need a quiet time with God each day? Because Jesus did, and He’s your example... Ceaseless activity will drain you and leave you vulnerable to Satan’s attack.
...Now, as ‘priests unto God’ we can come into His presence at any time and meet with Him (Revelation 1:6 KJV). What a privilege! Grace makes it possible.
Any time Satan brings up your past it’s because he hope you’re ignorant of the truth, or he fears your future and wants to rob you of it. Don’t take the bait! Point him to the cross of Christ, refuse to discuss it further, and keep moving forward.
"now the blood shall be a sing for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt." - Exodus 12:13
Success is always a possibility, but never a guarantee. It belongs to the man or woman who is willing to show up early, stay late, go the extra mile, and keep asking, “is there a better way?”
The only people who never fail are those who never try. So keep going, and don’t even think about quitting!
