Time — Part 2
“The time is short” (1 Corinthians 7:29).
“Redeeming the time” (Ephesians 5:19).
Do you spend some time alone with Jesus every day? I don’t mean just once a week or when you feel you have time, or when it suits you to do so … but every day!
How sad it is when real Christians do not have time to spend in the presence of the One who loved them enough to die for them, and the One who wants to be their friend, support, guide, comfort, help, etc. Think back over the past few days. How much time have you really spent with the Lord Jesus?
When we do not spend time with Him, not only do we rob ourselves of the joy of communion, but we rob Christ of His portion as well. He desires our company and how sad His heart must be when we do not give it to Him. Remember, there is a mutual joy when we spend time with our Lord Jesus Christ. His joy and our joy. David having spent time in the presence of the Lord, said, “In Thy presence is fulness of joy” (Psalm 16:11).
