The most important time of your entire day...overlooked

The time we spend in prayer is the most important time of our day. If this is so, why do we “take a few minutes”?

We have an imminent opportunity to take our miniscule selves, our carnal collection of dust, and enter into the presence of the Great I AM, the ALL IN ALL, the Creator of this universe and of our souls. There is a disconnect. Something is amiss. Only love and faith impress God, and our love for him and our faith in him should propel us into such an intense, radical, pursuit of a prayer life that we would be consumed by His presence. The opportunity is there. It is free. We need no athletic equipment. We need not be educated, wealthy, or have special brownie points with Jesus…just faith, motivated by love. Then, just do it. Absolutely amazing is the depravity of mankind, and the silliness of the church. I am not pontificating…I speak first, and foremost, of myself. But, I despise an existence where we just lament these things then say, “Oh well, isn’t it a shame.” I refuse to be that person. When I have these musings, I act. I will at least turn the prayer dial up a notch right now.

Jesus, as we know, went into the wilderness and declined to eat earthly food, instead consuming the bread of life that came from His Father.  To be in His presence…just think of it: Holy, Holy, perfect, perfect, sweet, precious, all knowing, all loving…my master…Oh Lord who gives us Manna…the food that leads to life eternal…the Word of  God, personified in your beloved Son, Jesus. Thank you. Oh, thank you.
