“When my cup is empty, You are there to replenish it and fill me back up, even to overflowing.”
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
“A blanket wrapped around my feet and a coffee mug in my hand… I come to the feet of Jesus. I’m weary. Many nights of bad sleep (thanks to my sweet teething toddler). I am reminded that when my flesh is weak, the Spirit can be stronger. Holy Spirit, will You guide me today? Grow the fruits of the Spirit in me? Help me to depend on You in a new way today. Thank You, that spending time in Your presence rejuvenates me and gives me purpose like nothing else. I know I can do all things through You, Jesus… and I cling to that today. I trust You. I breathe in Your name and surrender my tired soul. When my cup is empty, You are there to replenish it and fill me back up, even to overflowing. My daily bread. My one constant. So I take a breath and conquer my day, knowing I’m not alone. That knowing is all I need.”
This was my journal entry this morning. I’m sure that you can relate, because every momma struggles with exhaustion. No matter how tired we get, if we have that daily habit of coming to the feet of Jesus, that can change everything.
Daily devotional time creates an intimacy with God that will completely change your life. Intimacy with God is what we should all be working towards. To become closer in communication with our Creator. But you can’t do that by just going to church once or twice a week. You need daily time. What if you only talked to your spouse once a week? How would your relationship be? God should be set higher than any other person in your life. He doesn’t just want a part of your heart, He wants ALL of it.
We are told that when we seek God, we will find Him. He’s so close, but as long as there are distractions, you won’t be able to hear His voice. When you go into your secret place with Jesus, don’t forget to listen.
When we spend time in prayer and meditating on scripture, we are renewing our minds. We are letting go of worldly thinking, switching to heavenly thoughts. Sanctification is the process of becoming holy and pure, and this happens during daily devotions.
Take a moment to:
If you haven’t had some quiet time with God today, make it a priority to do so. Even a few minutes allows us to fill up on His daily bread, allowing the Spirit to work in our lives.
Ask God what He wants specifically from you and how you can make it happen, then listen for the Holy Spirit to guide you.
