Some may ask why should we spend time with God, when God is with us all the time. Isn't it enough that we live in the realization of His presence? While others may say that they keep talking to God like that to a friend, whenever they are alone and get time. All this is fine. But we need to spend time with God personally...which we call prayer time or quiet time. It is not just a time to tell our concerns and worries alone or to lay before Him our prayer request. It is a time where we sit before Him to learn from Him. And give Him that opportunity to communicate to us through His Word and Spirit. It is a time where more importantly He speaks...And we listen...
Jesus says in John 6:45
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. (New International Version).
Even Jesus spent time with His Father and spoke or did things exactly what the Father wanted Jesus to do (John 8:38).
May we take time for God to speak to us...Only then we will able to be, do and live all that He wants us to...
