Miss a Day-Miss a Lot!

"For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God" (Isaiah 58:2).
Scripture Focus: Isaiah 58:1-11

A newspaper's motto is "Miss a day, Miss a lot." In other words, if you go a day without reading and studying their paper, you'll be limited, unaware and uninformed about life and current world news. Actually, that is a good motto for us spiritually, too. Isaiah wrote that when God's people sought empty forms of religion and ritual over a genuine, life-changing relationship with Him, they failed. We should daily guard against such things ourselves. How easy it is to give a quick nod to the Lord in the morning and then rush off for the day, leaving Him buried under our piles of obligations. Let's be eager to know Him and His ways, eager for His presence. This is a day by day walk we have with Him. If we miss a day, we miss a lot.

Now is a perfect time to determine our commitment to Christ, to grow in Him and be infused with His presence, to be motivated by His love. Let's cultivate those godly disciplines of meditation in Scripture and being still before Him in prayer.

Insight: Allow The Spark Of His Holy Spirit To Become A Flame Of Passion And Devotion, Burning Brightly To Testify That God Is With Us.
