In the Bedroom with Jesus

When a couple has been married awhile they very often settle into a pattern.  Habits are formed and rituals fill our days.  We get up in the morning and begin our routine all over again.   That kiss at the kitchen sink, lunch hour catch up, watching out favorite tv shows together make us feel secure and comfortable with our world.   These things are wonderful but they never should take the place of intimacy, that time away, sweet and personal, where no one interrupts or intrudes.


Well its the same with Jesus.  Those whispered prayers, rides to work and back, snippets of  messages on the radio or television are all good but they are not enough.  The Lord wants more of you and me!


In Haggai the scripture says:
^"5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. ⁶ You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."  
 ⁹“You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the LORD Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. ¹⁰ Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. ¹¹ I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.”


I believe that this happens in our lives when we are not giving the Lord the time He desires....preparing our hearts for His home.
Chew on that today...."Consider your ways"  Have you been in the bedroom with Jesus lately?  Have you sat quietly and listened for His voice?  "Come away my beloved , His banner over you is LOVE"




Blessings!
