Alone With the Lord
“In Thy presence is fulness of joy” (Psalm 16:11).
Spending time alone with the Lord is essential for our well-being and Christian growth. It is not an option, it is a necessity! The happiest, most fruitful Christians who have power and testimony in their lives, and who demonstrate real faith, are those who have spent plenty of time alone with the Lord.
Never feel guilty about letting something go to spend time with the Lord. It is true that we want to be diligent in our day-to-day responsibilities, but if we are going to spend time with Him, we must let something go. There is never such a thing as having plenty of time to be alone with the Lord. We always have to make time. When Martha complained to the Lord she said, “Dost Thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?” (Luke 10:40). Mary realized that, if she was going to spend quality time in the presence of the Lord, she was going to have to leave the work and even her sister. Are you willing to do that? Set aside time each day away from activities and other people to be alone with the Lord. You will find it a real joy and blessing.
