I've always liked the Nike slogan, "just do it". It just makes no room for excuses or "ya buts". Same is true with devotion time with God: Just do it.
We have a such a wonderful, brilliant, amazing, beautiful, creative, expressive, holy, righteous, fair, pure, powerful, faithful, courageous, stupendous, loving, fearful, jealous, compassionate God who is so in love with us, so ravished by us, so pleased to hear us talk to Him, why wouldn't we want to take time to meditate on him?
THE LORD OUR GOD, HE IS GOD.
Malachi 3:16 says
Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORDand honored his name.
So here God is writing down when we talk to each other about Him. He is taking time to write what you say, why not let that be our example and write down what He says to our hearts. That's such a precious privilege.
IF that isn't enough that God listens to us and hears, He also is doing this...
Malachi 3:17
On the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him."
Some translation say GEMS.
He considers us His Gems... God's Gems....
Do you love your precious rings and fancy jewelry pieces? I know I do. How much more does God cherish you and me? SOOOO SOOO SOOO MUCH MOREEEEEE.
You are God's treasured possession,
Make God your treasure and
create time to get to know this wonderful, amazing, terrific, excellent, right, just, truth,
eternal God.
Amen!!!!
Just do it, you won't regret it.
