Routine, Friendship, and Focus... Our Running Mates of Faith

Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotional, Dedicated Prayer Time

How diligent are we in our faith? Do we only set aside enough time to study the Bible, and to pray undisturbed each day when we rise in the morning? If that is true, then I certainly hope that Jesus returns to claim us, His bride, in the morning. Routine times of study help us to ensure that we spend time in contemplation and prayer, but we should dwell on those things we have studied in the morning as we travel throughout our day. In this way we will remain at the ready, and those around us will see Christ in us all day long.

Am I a Consecrated Person?

Christian , Daily Devotional, Consecrated and Holy

Are we consecrated men and women or are we fooling ourselves? Most Christians view themselves as being consecrated, but are we doing those things in our lives that insures that this is true? To know the truth we must first understand what consecration actually means. It is the dedication of ourselves to God; allowing Him to sanctify us and make us holy. If we are consecrated then we must dedicate ourselves to God and His use; our lives should be centered on prayer, worship, and service to God.

Solitary Places, and Times of Prayer

Christian , Daily Devotional , Dedicated Prayer Time

Have we set a certain hour, or hours, of prayer aside for ourselves each day? Of course we are told to pray throughout the day without ceasing, but have we designated special times of prayer when we can be alone with God, and speak with Him quietly, secretly, and without interruption? Many Christian denominations have designated certain times as being times of prayer, and the Bible refers to 3:00 in the afternoon as such an hour for the apostles, but are there times that are more suitable for you; times when God doesn’t compete for your attention?
