Time with God a must everyday!



Billy Graham wrote: “Through my years of experience I have learned it is far better to miss breakfast than to forgo a session with God’s Word. It’s not that Bible reading is some kind of religious fetish bringing good fortune, but that I lack decisiveness and purpose and guidance when I neglect what is more important than food that is necessary for my body.”

Do you and I put that kind of importance on spending time with God everyday? God desires a relationship with us and we must desire that relationship as well. To have a good relationship you must spend time together. Since it is God we are talking about, time every day is a MUST!

Remember these words from Jesus:

Matthew 4:4 
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

God’s word is as important as food for us to live! If the time you spent in God’s word was to keep you alive like food does would you be alive??? Or would you have starved to death?

Time spent alone in prayer with God is also needed daily! Jesus set the example for us:

Luke 9:18 
18 And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

Many times in scripture it talks about Jesus going off to be alone…we are confident it was to spend time with God in prayer!


Do not forsake daily time with God in Bible reading and prayer! It is life for the followers of Jesus!
