Powerful teaching my friend and so true....For the day and hour that we are living in now...this is not an option...this is a MUST...We MUST spend quality time with the Lord every single day.  YES it takes discipline....YES it takes sacrifice....and YES it takes time....For some it may not happen over night, but you MUST progressively discipline yourself to spend time with the Lord in His Word....Prayer....and Worship!  For me...my day starts every day at 4:00 A.M. which allows me time with Him before going to work.  I arrive at work by 6:00 A.M. (a half hour drive to talk with God)  Once there, I have an hour to spend with God (smile) and saturate my office with prayer...I start work at 7:00 A.M.  Constantly through the day I am eating and digesting the Word of God..Several bibles on the job (smile) and once I'm home, if I need to wind down from the day and don't want to be bothered....I go in my room...shut the door....let voice mail do it's job with the phone calls, and I spend time with GOD.....Do I have many friends....NOOOOOOO..My primary purpose in this life is to be filled with the fulness of GOD....everything else is secondary!!!

Again, getting alone with JESUS is not an option for me..it is a MUST...and yes I cook, and clean, iron clothes, write poetry....Overseer a poetry ministry....Host a radio broadcast.....help take care of my elderly parents, write articles for my newsletter, etc. etc. ect. LOL...LOL...LOL..LOL

"If your out go is more than your in take your up keep will be your down fall." 

This made me giggle. 
It's SO true.
I always take the time for my refill.

True, so very true.  It's part of my struggle.  But then I don't feel so bad, there are others that struggle with this, too.  Say, maybe if we all got together and....

Excellent word, Todd!  It is easy to get so busy "serving Him" that we don't have time to spend with Him!

how very true you are.........i think alot of us need to repriorties our life and what is important......and there is nothing more important than your personal time with the Lord......the Holy Ghost will guide us through our daily lives but we still need that time with the Lord to be able to hear him and ask him what we can do for Him that day.........if we would just spend that personal time with him, we would see that everything else will fall into place.....

For me sometimes that quiet place is at home someplace, either inside or out, but often that place is on the busride to work, with 50+ other people! Fortunately most are quiet (maybe asleep) on the morning ride. Have enjoyed some excellent quality time w/God there. Now, I am yearning to find more time for him during the workday. This is the next step for me. Great post Todd!
