Be Intentional

Proverbs 8: 17

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

 

The question by now seems a little redundant, but how will you seek God today?

Often times, the pat answer is in prayer.

To get a picture of how Jesus prayed, we need to look into the Bible.

 

Jesus didn’t pray a rushed prayer, no He was intentional.

We’re intentional about a lot of things, but frankly, pray isn’t one of them.

 

If I were to ask you, to give a report on how much time you spend reading the bible, what would your answer be?

If I were to ask you, how much time you spend in intentional prayer, would you be embarrassed to give a report?

 

In the book, “Too Busy Not To Pray”, there are many great quotes made by the author. Here is just a sampling…..

"If your life is rushing in many directions at once, you are incapable of the kind of deep, unhurried prayer that is vital to the Christian walk."

 

The common thread or theme among Christians today, is that they’re lives are extremely busy.

Do you think that was God’s plan, or is that something derived by us?

 

Summer time is the perfect example. Many are even too busy for worship on Sunday morning. We always seem to have something more important to do, or place to go.

We even justify being busy, and not being in church.

 

Maybe we need to stop. Maybe we need to make changes after all. Maybe  if we did, we’d actually find God……..
