July 18, 2012

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE 
"'The Lord God called to Adam, 'Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9).

TODAY'S WORD   
, in addition to walking in harmony with God, Amos 3:3 provides another nuance of meaning. It also gives the idea of keeping an appointment. Did you know that you have an appointment with God? You do. It is there, written in eternity. In fact, God wants to meet with you on a regular basis. I wonder just how many times each day that God wants to speak to us and He can't get a word in edgewise? The Lord might say, "I have wanted to talk to you for a long time, but you are too busy. This morning I wanted to talk to you, but you didn't have any time for me. You read the newspapers and watched TV and talked on the phone. You never opened the Word. You never prayed. At lunch I tried to say something, but your prayer was so fast. Later I tried to talk with you. You have been so busy. You have an appointment with me. Why don't you keep it?" Remember how Adam had an appointment with God every day in the Garden of Eden? He would hear the voice of the Lord in the garden in the cool of the evening. One day Adam missed that appointment because of sin. God said to Adam, "Where are you?" I wonder if the Lord would say that to some of us each day: "Where are you? Where were you? I have been looking for you. I wanted to speak to you. I want you to walk with Me, and I want to walk with you." Just imagine, the Creator of the Universe wants to spend time with you. Is there any appointment that is worth keeping more than this one?

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Father, would you speak to me today. I know that days go by where I miss my time with you. Forgive me for my rush. Help me to calm my restless soul and spend the moments with you in our daily time together.  In Jesus' Name. Amen.

, we really do love you and we believe in you!
