I’m always encouraging you to keep up your daily time with God, not just to “click the box” but to grow in relationship with Him and experience his guidance. Since it’s always better to hear from a “satisfied customer” than a “trained professional,” I’m pleased to share a snippet from an article written by a friend of ours.

She had taken our Time with God course, maybe 18 months ago, and was faithfully practicing the discipline. In talking about going through a difficult time at work she wrote:

The word ‘trust’ appeared almost daily in my morning readings. I could not help but think of what Bob & June Ewell had taught us in the 5Rs course (Read, Reflect, Respond, Record & Retain). God was speaking to me. Trust in His perfect plan, His timing, not mine.

Her times with God sustained her that period of difficulty and uncertainty, and we’re grateful she had already formed the habit!

I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. (Ephesians 1.17, The Passion Translation)
