Quiet Time With Our Heavenly Conductor 




Jeremiah 29:13- You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

We all know how busy life can be. The daily demands can run us dry and at times even get us into a funk if we are not careful or guarded. But I believe that only happens when we are not intentional about making time to meet with God intimately. He is always close, so if you ever feel like He is not near, it's not because He's left you, (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Christianity is not a legal relationship, it is a love relationship with our Heavenly Conductor. God wants to lead us in this journey called life through His Word. The more we fall in love with Gods word, the more we know Him and the closer we are to Him. 

Visualize your quiet time as if you are riding on a spiritual train called "Heaven Bound" and you are Gods VIP passenger. The train is running on a track called revelation and obedience with a bright light shining ahead. It carries 66 treasured cargos and they stop in two towns. One town is called "Old Testament" and the other "New Testament". Count it an honor and privilege everyday to board this gorgeous train and ride into a light of infinite love, mercy, grace, hope, revelations, wisdom, comfort, joy, peace, direction, confirmations and convictions. Convictions? Yes. Conviction. Praise God when your train ride jolts from a conviction in your heart. That means you are spiritually alive. Don't ignore it. Receive it and ask the Lord for His help. We should all desire to grow in His Word, no matter how many years we have been walking with our Lord and Saviour.  

Here are a few things, when preparing to meet with your Heavenly Conductor.

1- A regular time and place. Find what suits you best. Some, like the mornings, (Psalm 88:13.) Others prefer evening, (Psalm 141:2). Whichever place you feel most comfy and excites you to meet with Him, make that your sanctuary. 

2- A cleansed and listening heart, (James 1:25) We know we are listening to God when what we read in the Bible shows in our heart and in our lives.

3- An open Bible. Before reading the Bible, pray. Ask for understanding, wisdom and open heart to receive. (Proverbs 2:4-5)

4- A desire to grow by obeying His word (Exodus 19:5) (James 1:22).

When we stop reading God's Word, our life becomes a train wreck. We need to stay on track. Be intentional about getting on the train daily. When you do, you will find your heart overwhelmed with JOY for Jesus. Others. Yourself. 

Let's stay hungry to read, to learn and most importantly to obey. Have a joyful one! Enjoy your train rides and don't forget to thank your Heavenly Conductor. He loves to hear from His passengers!

Jesus! Jeremiah! And Psalm 8

This morning, I clearly heard the Lord telling me to ask Jeremiah to sit with me and read His word together. We usually have devotions on Thursday night with my husband, but it's my responsibility as their Mommy to also sit with our kids. I confess that I am not consistent. I read. I allow God to pour into me, but how selfish of me, not to include my kids in a more consist way! Well, that changes as of today! And you can keep me accountable. No! Really I challenge you, to challenge me! And don't you just LOVE IT  when God speaks to you and then He totally sends confirmation afterward? The Lord, said... Read a Psalm and because today is July 8th, we read Psalm 8.  v.2 " Out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, You have ordained strength because of your enemies, that you may silence the enemy and the avenger".  Children (that's us) are able to trust and praise God without doubt or reservations. As we get older, many of us, find this more difficult...

Today was a day filled with many sweet nuggets on "Growth" 2 Peter 3:18 reminds us: "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen" Raise your hand if you want to grow in the knowledge of the Lord! I know I do! If we're not careful, we can get complacent and remain seated on the "comfort zone" couch.  Gods Word is essential  in our lives, and it is how we grow. Jesus loves us and we can grow in His knowledge by diligently committing ourselves to having quiet time with Him, daily. We are His lilies among the thorns of life and He wants to equip us for every trial, challenge and struggle. All our answers are in the Bible, it is our manual to walking hand in hand with Jesus.  Do you know what else is essential in our Christian walks? Sharing His love. When was the last time you told a perfect stranger... "Jesus loves you"? Because if you ...

Thinking Of Heaven

Heaven! James!  And the Introduction!  I was thinking of Heaven today. I was thinking of how exciting it will be when I'm in the presence of my Jesus! I picture myself arriving and hugging my Lord 1st and foremost and immediately asking him to show me where James is. I want to thank him personally for this amazing letter he wrote. The book of James, is mind blowing bold in it's own right. You know how you can read and study a book in the Bible and then you read and study it again and it just speaks to you in a whole new way? Yup! Its like that. James teaches us the right Christian behavior and doesn't sugar coat anything. It doesn't matter what version you try reading this book in, you will feel conviction in your heart if you are humbly honest with yourself. With well chosen words, James reminds us that it's not enough to talk the Christian faith, he says; we must live it (2.14) The proof of the reality of our faith is a changed life. He... Outl...
