It's Not What You Know....

……It’s Who You Know.  Is it possible to really know God—His nature, His will, His ways and most of all His love?  It surely is—and I want to help you by giving you some very simple instructions. 

1.      Find a place where you can be alone.  It has to be a place where you can go everyday to be alone.  Here are some examples:  [ an office, a sitting room, or even a coffee shop.]  You choose!  There are no rules!

2.      Choose a time that you can consistently go to  this designated place--- when you know you will not be interrupted by family, by the phone, and by the demands of the day.

3.      Equip your designated place with a Bible, this devotional  (or another favorite devotional) and a notebook.

4.      Tomorrow go to your designated place at your designated time.  (Yes, you can bring your coffee!  God is not religious about that!)

5.      Open your Bible to the scripture designated for the day.  Open your notebook and put the date on the top of the page.  (Your notebook has now become your journal.)  Instead of journaling your past like most folks do, you will be journaling your future.  God is going to reveal to you that “good plan” that He has for you.  How exciting!!

6.      Read the scripture and the verses around it, letting God speak to your heart about your particular situation. 

7.      As certain words give you encouragement, write them on your journal page. 

It’s been about five years since I started this and I am totally blown away with God’s willingness to meet with me.  I know you will be blessed as you pursue your daily time with Him.
