Stop, and be with me.

Even though we are past Chapter 3, I wanted to mention something I found on page 30. Kauflin says, "Getting to know God is time consuming. We live in the age of instant everything. We want a life-changing devotional in fifteen minutes max" and goes on to say "Given our small minds , our absolute dependence on revealed truth, and the immensity of God, how can we thing there is an easy path to knowing the God we worship?"

This stopped me in my tracks, and brought me to the word. How can I expect to do things in a way that glorifies God, while totally ignoring who God is and trying to discern His will without consulting His Word?

I was brought to Philippians 2:3-4, which says, "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." This is exactly how Christ lived, how can I not do the same?

God needed me to stop what I was doing, and listen to Him through His word to prepare me for my day.
