In Private

January 23, 2010 in Challenges with 0 Comments

If you want to live like Jesus publicly, you need to live like Jesus privately…

Yesterday morning driving to work, I was listening to the first sermon from the sermon series, Carbon Copy from LifeChurch.tv, and this line jumped out at me.

What is the impact of this statement on your life?

For me, it is usually very easy to put up a facade to the world, and to look like this super duper Christian, but are you really? And for how long will you be able to keep up the facade?

Does this statement mean for you that you need to make time to spend private time with God, on a daily basis, or does it maybe mean you need to remove certain things from your life that may have a negative impact in your relationship with God.

Think about it.

Pray about it.

But, please, do something about it.

For me, it is to make some real personal time again with God. To have a time of day, where I can go and sit on the floor, and just bask in the glory that is God. To spend some quite time, just to hear His voice.

Kick up the backside

I read this blog post from Mark Betterson yesterday.

Now this post is everything that I needed, to get a wake up call, in term of my quite time with God.

For a long time I would get up at 4am in the morning to do Bible study and simply to have time during the day, where the house would be quiet and I could really listen to God, but due to my weak human nature, of wanting everything in life to be comfortable and easy, I let that slip, which resulted in me not being at the spiritual level that I want to be at.

Thanks to Mark, I have once again started, this morning, to focus on my quiet time with God, and I pray that I will be back at the place I need to be sooner rather than later.
