The best part of the Christian life, the one thing that is truly
needful, is time spent with God.
If you were to ask me to name the most important principle of Christian
living I’ve ever learned, I would answer you without hesitation. It is
the secret of daily communion with God. That is, without question, the
No. 1 priority of the Christian life. It is the key that opens every
door.
Yet it is the one thing many Christians can’t seem to find time
for.
When you think about it, that’s astonishing. No other group of
people since Adam and Eve has had the opportunity to fellowship with God
the way we can. The Creator and Ruler of the entire universe has made
Himself available to meet with us as believers every day. He sent Jesus
to the cross to shed His blood so that we could enter into the holy of
holies and draw near to Him any time we desire.
God Himself has
flung open to us the door of fellowship and said, “I’m here for you.
Just draw near to Me and I’ll draw near to you. Spend time with Me and
I’ll give you the wisdom you need. I’ll strengthen you and equip you and
help you in every area of your life.”
