Moment With The Master
“Connecting with God”
Categories: Moment With The MasterYour word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You! “(Psalms 119:11)
The above verse is a truly practical one. The best defense against sin is reading and meditating on God’s word. I would venture to say that almost all of my readers would agree with this. So, why is it so difficult to get folks to devote some time each day to daily reading, meditation, and prayer? Maybe, it is because we fail to see the seriousness of the battle!
If you were deserted in a wilderness, but you had a manual that listed essential rules of survival, would you read it? Absolutely! Reality: You are in the middle of a wilderness. You are in a battle for the survival of your soul! Reality: God’s word is your survival manual!
Unfortunately, we view the discipline of daily Bible reading with the same enthusiasm of a child who is told to brush his teeth! “We ought to do that”, but we are not fully committed! In modern times such apathy is inexcusable. Use that MP3 player to download gospel singing, gospel preaching, or the text of Scripture. Remove the CD with secular music from your player, and insert one with gospel music. Take time to pray! Your spiritual survival may depend upon it!
Time with God each day is not just about knowledge. It is about your eternal destiny. It is about connecting with God!
