“For each of us and I mean literally every day of our lives we must purposefully direct our thoughts and all of our attention towards the Lord..Psalm 121:1..for if we think we can just do it whenever..or maybe later on throughout the day then usually that never will happen..because guys how many of ya know or already know that pretty much never usually never happens..because there is always something that we must do and daily so..especailly this time of year..we all seem to be extra busy with our lives and with our schedules..so the day will end very quickly..and will get to the end of the day and we will yet once again rush through our bedtime prayer that we may say to the Lord..because we have had a very busy day and we are so tired..and so we justify that in our minds well the Lord knows and He understands..but guys listen, the one thing we don’t want to miss out on each and every day and I mean every single day of our lives is our time that we spend with Jesus..Amen..cause we need that time to make it through our crazy, busy days that we may have..Amen..for some they get up about an hour earlier than the rest of their family just to be able to be quiet and to be still before the Lord..Psalm 46:10..to spend that time..because it is in them times that we do this that God our Father washes over us with His presence..with His love..with His wisdom and guidance for that day..because daily we need His manna from heaven so to speak..so purposefully guys we have to take time and make time to be with Jesus..if not life happens..our day happens..and well we get to the end of it to never have spent any time with our Father..and if we make this a habit by doing this every day then we will continually do this..until our prayer time with God is only every now and then..it will end being only on Sunday mornings..so the rest of our week we just carry our burdens..carry our problems..and carry all the stuff around with us that this ole world had done placed upon our shoulders..so my whole heart and my whole prayer for each of us and daily so it that we spend time with the Lord before we spend time with any other person..before we grab our phones..to check emails..to check facebook..to check the instagram posts..to check twitter..to check the newspaper..to check the weather..really before we check anything else..that we get up and we find our place with our Father..and that we purposefully do so in our lives..that we let the Lord know that He is first place..and that we need Him more than we need any thing else in our day..that we need Him and His presence..and that we need Him and His help to get through whatever the day may bring our way..because then we all have a better day..we all see things differently..and we all choose to respond and react the way that God would intend that we do..for time spent with Jesus is time always well spent..never is it ever wasted time..for there is nothing like the presence of the Lord..2 Corinthians 2:17..so as I said make that time to be with the Lord in your life..for there is where all of your help and all of your answers are found in the presence of our Father..so purposefully and daily so choose to look up into His face..and choose to be in His presence and His presence always..for it is in Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
