A Cup of Encouragement



How often do we spend time with God? I mean, really blocking out our schedules to talk to and hear from God.  How often do we pray? Only when we need an answer? Or, do we constantly thank God for his goodness? These are just questions to ponder. I feel that we can all do better.

Pray without ceasing. 
1 Thessalonians 5:17

It's so easy to get caught up in life.  We take on extra projects at work.  We support our friends and family at various events.  The list goes on and on. Before we know it, we've totally neglected God. Granted, we may say our grace here and there but is that enough? By no means am I saying one must pray 24/7, but I do think we should all have a heart of thanksgiving.  

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endure forever!
Psalm 107:1 

Let's make a commitment to do better.  I feel 110% better when I read my devotion before getting my day started.  When I get to work, I immediately read my devotion and pray.  I do this before cutting on my computer and before returning any phone calls. After work or during lunch may be better for you. Do whatever works! When we do our part, God will most definitely do His.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29: 11-13

Have a wonderful Friday and remember, small changes often yield big results.
