A new day

Today is Thursday @ 10 am and I just got back from running. And guess what? Unlike Monday (you have to read "Are you feelin' it" to appreciate today's blabber) I looked forward to my time. I also had a new goal of going from 2 miles to reaching 3 miles today. It didn’t happen. But I’m not bummed about it. In time it will happen, but instead of making it happen in one day, I need to build up to that next mile. So my usual 2 miles in 28 minutes was today another ~1/2 mile in 34 minutes and walked another 4 to cool down. I am happy for the little progress!

This reminds me again of my quiet time. I’m not going to receive a “ramah” from God or feel moved by the scripture every day. But I certainly won’t receive either if I’m not in the Word at all. Meeting with Him each day moves us further down that path of sanctification, whether we feel it or not. Not all moments with God are going to be HUGE, at least mine aren’t. But every moment spent with God is good. My good and ultimately, His glory. If I want to hear from God, I need to be prepared to hear from God. My hands open, my spirit yielded, and my heart ready. God loves to spend time with me; all of his children.

Today is a new day. He is there waiting for you. Why don’t ya go spend a little time alone with Jesus?
Psalm 27:14
Wait on the LORD; be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!
