Time with the Lord is more than Sunday
Bring an attitude of gratitude
Sit in a quiet setting and linger in his presence
Words to encourage not discourage
Putting God First
Exodus 20:3 ESV
3 “You shall have no other gods before [besides] me.
Proverbs 3:6 ESV
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Romans 12:1-2 MSG
Place Your Life Before God
12 1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
God’s Guidance
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Isaiah 64:8 ESV
8 But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Psalm 32:8 ESV
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
