Quality Word Time

Something I found on Mama's blog (if you haven't checked it out yet, you should!) Anyway, here it is... its an interesting perspective on a very valid question.



Sometimes in your Word time you can sort of slide for a while, you’re not really getting quality feeding, but it doesn’t seem to make much difference. You might not notice it at first. You slide for a while, and then a while more, and nothing seems to happen and everything seems to go okay.

And you know why that is? It’s because the Enemy is allowing you to get to the point where you’re very weakened, so then he can come in and he can bash you and smack you around, and then you’re going to feel it.

He doesn’t want to do it too early while you still have some strength and resistance. He’s very smart; he doesn’t do anything for a while and he makes you think that it’s not a big deal, it’s going to be okay, it’s not so bad to miss your quality Word time, because you’re not seeing any adverse results. And then when you get to the point where you’re very weakened, he comes in with certain situations or circumstances and really hits you, and it can nearly be the end of you.

That’s something to realize, that you’d better not go too long without quality Word time, even if it doesn’t seem to be affecting you much. The Lord has a lot of mercy and He gives us leeway and a period of grace; He realizes we’re not perfect and won’t hit our quality Word time requirements 100% of the time. But quality Word time is a daily priority that is worth fighting for, because it’s what keeps us strong in spirit.



Amen?
