daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? It is really important for us to make time for God. It is really important to withdraw for a time to listen. It is also important to analyze what you hear. Does it go along with scripture? Something you hear that is perceived to be from God will not contradict scripture. Are you under duress when those thoughts come? Remember, fight or flight mechanism can trigger in times of duress and wrong or inappropriate choices can be made. Do you read or listen to scripture every day? Do you take the time to listen to God's leadership? Lets be practical here, if you are not getting scripture, how do you know what you hear or see is God's? What gauge would you be using if not the Word of God? Your feelings? Please...how many of us have acted on feelings in the past and realize now what a mistake it was...We must take the time to shut down everything and point our focus on God, if we do not we run the risk of bad choices based on erroneous information, however gleaned. You think about this...

Mark 6:30-32
And the apostles gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught. And He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest a while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.) And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.
NAS

Exodus 23:12
Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor in order that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.
NAS

Exodus 34:21-22
"You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest.
NAS

2 Timothy 3:15-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
NAS

A day of rest was instituted by God. All over the bible we are instructed to learn and know it's contents. If we do not hear scripture we can't expect to make wise choices based on sound principles. Think on this...
