Our main purpose in life is to bring God glory and enjoy Him! Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.” If we are to enjoy God we have to spend time with Him. The more we spend with Him, the better we get to know God and know how awesome He is!

When it came to quiet time with the Lord, I greatly desired to have consistency. Until a short while ago, I struggled with inconsistency always trying to fit some time in the Word or some prayer time wherever I could find it. It wasn’t until I made it a habit and really prayed for that desire that it came about to a really cherished time!

Now my husband and I get up bright and early in the morning with the hope that we can sneak quietly past the kids room so as not to wake them up. We grab a cup of coffee or tea for ourselves and sit on the couch together to read our Bibles and devotionals. “Oh Lord in the morning you hear my voice in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. I rise before dawn and cry for help I hope in your words” Psalms 5:3; 119:147

Everything else in life is going to fade away or maybe fail us in some way. But God stands forever and will always be! The devil wants nothing more than for us to operate on our own understanding and not to lean into the Lord and let Him be the guide of our every day life. When our lives are not connected to Christ and his word we are going to be much more vulnerable and able to believe the lies of the devil. If I don’t wake up and give the Lord the first part of my day I can pretty much guarantee that my morning is going to flop. “I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids until I find a place for the Lord a dwelling place for the mighty one of Jacob” Psalms 132:4-5

In all things we do it should be to bring God glory and we should ENJOY our time with the Lord! We need to build habits and one very important one is time with Him every single day!
