\u00a0
Years ago, missionary Elizabeth Elliot, encouraged me to make time everyday for a quiet time with God<\/strong>. It was an investment she said; a sowing of seeds. And so I took her challenge and began to set aside time daily, never wanting to miss.<\/p>\n

“[Charge them] to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal and generous of heart, ready to share [with others], In this way laying up for themselves [the riches that endure forever as] a good foundation for the future, so that they may grasp that which is life indeed.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>1 Timothy 6:18 & 19<\/p>\n

Bit by bit good works build <\/em>one on the other. <\/em>Time with God, reading His Word, telling Him what’s on my heart. It’s all been for a purpose, an excellent foundation for the future.<\/em>\u00a0One that was sometimes really hard to carve out, but truly helped me\u00a0grasp that which is\u00a0<\/i>life.<\/i><\/p>\n

Where would I have been this last year without all the preparation? I shudder to think. Whether it’s a few precious minutes before anyone else gets up or a devotional and journaling before bed, this life-long investing is priceless.\u00a0My children saw, my husband noticed, but most importantly God satisfied me with trust and peace. Without knowing Him how would I have made it through the valley.<\/p>\n

“Thank you LORD, for wanting to spend time with me daily. I understand now its great importance. I love you.<\/em><\/p>\n
