For some time now I have been doing “A PROVERB A DAY” because there is 31 proverbs, which calculate (usually) to every day of the month. Today I decided I would share some insight on one of them.
“The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of the upright. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue Godliness.” Proverbs 15:8-9
It is so crazy to me that God actually delights in the prayers of His people. I always find myself thinking that when I pray it is for “my good” or for someone else….but I never think, wow God is delighted when I take the time to spend with Him alone. I know as a wife, I love when my husband talks with me. Most of the time I have to “get it out of him” but for some reason, women just LOVE every detail of everything…and the times that he comes up to me willingly and just starts talking with me, I am overjoyed. I kinda imagine thats how it is with God. Ive never doubted my husband’s love for me when he doesn’t come up and tell me every detail about his day, but the times that he has, nothing has made me more happy. The King of Kings delights in your conversation with Him. let that sink it.
I know life is crazy, and I know that trying to find “an hour a day” to pray seems almost impossible in our daily lives. But I know for myself, when I wake up thinking “I just need to talk with God” my day is always brighter. Our days are truly fleeting and I always find myself asking “where did the day go?” So many times I have been “too busy” to spend time with God. Imagine that, too busy to spend time with the one who CREATED me. but its true. I think if everyone was actually real with themselves, they would say that everyday they know that they could give MORE to God. Time is the most precious gift we have & I am learning to spend it on the things that truly matter.
Be real with yourself. Do things that make HIM happy. You do have the TIME.
