Here are two enemies that threaten your spiritual life: <\/p>\n
(1) Boredom.<\/i> Missionary and educator Frank Laubach said, \u2018If you\u2019re weary of some sleepy form of devotion, probably God is as weary of it as you are.\u2019 Walking with God is the most rewarding life possible. \u2018In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 16:11 NKJV) <\/p>\n
(2) Busyness.<\/i> Jesus told Martha, \u2018You are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it.\u2019<\/i> (Luke 10:41\u201342 NLT) And what was Mary doing? Sitting at Jesus\u2019 feet listening to Him! Martha loved Jesus and she couldn\u2019t do enough for Him. But she was so busy serving Him that she didn\u2019t know how to relax and enjoy being with Him. <\/p>\n
Maybe like Martha, you think that unless you do the job yourself, it won\u2019t get done properly. And you may be right. But God will never ask you to do anything that takes His<\/i> place in your life. He wants to be your top priority. Sometimes we approach God with a list of requests the length of our arm because we\u2019re more interested in His presents<\/i> than His presence.<\/i> David said, \u2018The one thing I ask of the Lord\u2014the thing I seek most\u2014is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord\u2019s perfections and meditating in His Temple.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 27:4 NLT) <\/p>\n
Can you imagine having \u2018one thing\u2019 at the top of your agenda at all times: needing and desiring to spend time with God? Think how that could revolutionise your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
