CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Alone with God

“Moses alone is to approach…the people may not come up with him.”. — Exodus 24:2

It’s essential to be alone with God to hear clearly from Him. For a texting/internet generation hooked on cell phones and shelled by social media, this can be a tough concept to grasp. But until we do, we’ll get nowhere spiritually.

Jesus “often withdrew…and prayed” Lk 5:16. He “went up on a mountainside by himself to pray” Mt 14:23. How did Jacob the deceiver become “Israel, a prince with God”? Genesis 32:28. The Bible says he “was left alone, and a man; the Angel of the Lord wrestled with him till daybreak” Ge 32:24. Remember Moses and the burning bush experience Exodus 3:1-15, Elijah’s night in the cave 1 Kings 19, Daniel, gazing at this great vision Daniel 10:8. Jeremiah wrote, “I sat alone because your hand was on me” Jeremiah 15:17, Etc. I think the greatest spiritual victories come from the encounters God calls us to experience when we’re alone with Him to be empowered and enlighten with the right knowledge.

When God is grooming us for his service and moving us to the next level, we’ll be required to spend time outside the company of others and be alone with Him. That’s because He wants us to be more influenced by Him than others as He outlines and clarifies His plans for our lives when there’s nobody else around.

Yes! We are His temple 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, but the question here is; How often do we spend time with Him to hear Him speak concerning His plan for us?

PRAYER

Lord, develop in me the thirst to often withdraw and spend time alone with you. Influence my words & actions. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
