It is my hope that you are catching the meaning of our foundational scripture--Proverbs 16:3 AMPC. We are submitting our plans to God and asking Him to cause our thoughts to become agreeable to His will so that we can be established in peace and be successful. Success leads to satisfaction and the opposite of running into road blocks all day long. That only leads to frustration.
Let's continue with Day 4:
Day 4 Meeting With God
When God knows you want to spend time with Him, He will take notice and make sure He spends time with you. Many years ago I set my clock for a certain time of the day that was allocated just for Him. I also designed a comfortable place where I could keep a basket filled with everything I would need to learn from Him—my Bible, a journal, my tablet, and a daily devotional. Everything was easily accessible for my meeting with God. And oh yes, did I mention that a cup of coffee was a necessity—especially if you do that early morning thing!
I began by praying “Father, I commit this time to You. Cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will.” (Taken from Proverbs 16:3 AMPC) I then would read my daily devotional and write down on my journal page what I had learned from a particular scripture. The heading on my journal page was—and still is—-“What Do You Want Me To Know Today, God?” I soon realized how much I enjoyed these times and how much peace I experienced because of them. Through these "meetings with God" I was teaching myself to hear how God speaks through His written word.
If you haven't already developed consistent times with God, I challenge you to begin today. Find your time and place, gather your materials and expect God to meet you every day. I promise that you will be amazed!!
2 Timothy 2:15 (AMPC) Do your utmost to present yourself to God.
Psalms 119: 127 (AMPC) I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great spoil.
Isaiah 26:3 (AMPC) God will keep me in peace as I fix my mind on Him.
