Father, You are well aware that I have been in a very full and hectic time of year – lots of reports for church, bus recertification, and other school-oriented training, as well as trying to wrap things up to ready Karen’s parent’s home up for sale. It’s been crazy…but our time together in the midst of it is of utmost importance. I truly need to spend quality time with You each day; a full schedule just makes things more difficult. Help me, Father, to be determined to carve out time for us…it must be a priority for me!

2 Timothy 1:15-18 (<<click here to read the passage)

Lord, no matter who or where we are, we must diligently pursue our relationship with You. In my passage this morning, Paul refers to three individuals by name. They all had relationships with him, but only one stuck with him; the other two deserted him. Once again, my opening thoughts are in alignment with what you want me to deal with as I read Your Word – You continue to set things up perfectly for me. Over and over again, You show that they were orchestrated just for me for “such a time as this.” Esther 4:14 Thank You for Your Love, Jesus!

Lord, as the old hymn says, (<<click to listen to the hymn!)

“I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee.”

Our time together is sweet. It sustains me through the press of the day. Time with You is the one necessity I cannot do without to accomplish Your calling on my life. You are truly a “Love that wilt not let me go.” (another old hymn)
