What a blessing, Father, it is to sit with You each day. I cannot recall the exact date when I first began, but it has been about a year now. I know that my walk with You has deepened. I more readily hear when You call. Over time, my perspective has matured. Initially, I stumbled about; inconsistent would have described our time together. But as the days turned into months, it increasingly began to fill in the gaps. In a way, it was like I was a child learning to walk. I would fall, but Father, You were always there to pick me up. I knew You loved me and were proud of me, too.
Over time, I learned to run, and I can recall the sheer joy I had in our time together. I basked in the light of knowing that this was truly a special time. I, one of billions, was called by the King himself to begin my day with Him. It was exhilarating!
At this point, our time together is well-established. As I write, I look back, and I haven’t missed a single day with You in over 3 months. I miss the excitement of those early days but each phase of life has its own things to glory in. What brought me joy at six years of age, I probably wouldn’t even be able to pull off at my age! 😀
In my youth, flitting about from one new experience to the next was wonderful and exhilarating. But in my adult years, I have learned the blessing of savoring. I no longer gulp life down in heaping spoonfuls but take it a bite at a time and relish every one.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!” Psalm 34:8
