Natural Steps for a Supernatural Meeting with God
—Thoughts for an Appointment too incredible to miss—
Mentally prepare the night before to keep tomorrow’s privileged appointment with God.
In the morning, resist the impulse to turn to devices before turning to the Word.
Set a definite time to begin and to end.
Choose a specific place (a chair, a closet, a porch, a kitchen table).
Gather preferred essentials (Bible, journal, blanket, mug filled with a hot beverage).
Incorporate a Scriptural reading plan (a verse a day, a chapter a day, a Psalm a day… )
Remember to Whom you are speaking.
Fight the urge to jump up and unload the dishwasher, change the laundry, or take the chicken out to thaw.
Continue to bring a wandering mind back into the Presence of God; He understands.
Endeavor to keep this sacred space simple, but keep it consistent—day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade: sit, read, write, pray… sit, read, write, pray… sit, read, write, pray.
Establish reading the Bible and talking to God as the ongoing fixed-focus. Ah, and may you find the unspeakable joy in discovering that this is truly your Happiest of Happy Places.
““And remember, He will always keep the appointment.””
“That I may know Him…” (Philippians 3:10a).
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
