Imagine you are travelling on a train with the Lord. As you are travelling along you see lots of different signs. Some of these signs are distractions and the difficulty is this: the train stops in response to your attention, giving you time to make a difficult choice. Will you stay on the train with the Lord or will you respond to the call of other things?
Sometimes, even when you stay on the train, you can become distracted and lose your focus. What you focus on is what you become like. The Lord calls you to ‘come away’ from earthly distractions and spend quality time with Him. He has set a banqueting table out just for you to sit at, with Him, and be satisfied. You have your invitation. Will you come? He is calling you. . . ‘My Beloved, are you coming?’
Activation:
As you awake greet God and ask Him to lead you, to sit beside the still waters with you.
Do this before you get out of bed if possible. Ask Him what He wants you to know for this day. As you hear from Him, record what He says and then feed on His manna throughout the day. You can repeat this as many times as you find useful. Sometimes it is useful to write down what He says to look back at.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed and refreshed my head with [a]oil;
My cup overflows.Psalm 23:5 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Psalm 23:5 In ancient times it was customary in hot climates for a host to provide his guest with olive oil to put on his head. The Lord blesses and anoints His believers with the Holy Spirit, whom oil symbolizes, to prepare them for His service.
‘The fig tree has budded and ripens her figs,
And the vines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
And come away [to climb the rocky steps of the hillside].’”Song of Solomon 2:13 (AMP)
Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people].
James 4:8 (AMP)
