We want the Lord to teach us … What a privilege … What a responsibility of spending time with Him. That there would be a new hunger, stirred in us to spend time in His presence.

 Billye Brim said, “Prayer is the fuel the Holy Spirit will use.”

 I think sometimes we take for granted our time with the Lord.  The Creator of the Universe, and that we can talk to Him.

We hear people say, “What must it be like to have a few moments with someone like Donald Trump”, and yet the Creator of the Universe – we can have time with Him!

If we don’t have our daily time with the Lord, without realizing it, we try to substitute it with something else because we know something is missing.  It’s so important in our lives, to have time each day in the Word of God (Bible) and in prayer.

 Think about the woman at the well.  Jesus said to her, “Bring me a drink of water.”

She said, “How come You, a Jew, ask me for a drink, don’t you know that Jews don’t have any dealings with the Samaritans.”

He said, “If you knew who was talking to you, you would ask Me for Living Water, and it would be given unto you.”

She said, “How can you give me living water, when you don’t have a bucket to draw with?”

Jesus said, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I give him will never thirst again.”

The presence of God, His Word, and His Spirit will give you a life that keeps on giving – every single day.

Jesus said to the woman, “Go call your husband.”

She said, “I don’t have a husband.”

He said, “That’s right, you have had 5 husbands and the one you’re living with is not your husband.”

She tried to get from each one of those husbands; only what the Lord could give. When we think another human being is going to satisfy our life, or fulfill our life, when only the Lord can, we are headed for a disappointment.  When you find a person who has found their joy in Christ, and who has their identity in God,  They are secure with somebody or alone.  When they come into a marriage, they are not out to take, they want to give.

 When you have two people like that, you have heaven on earth.  It’s a continual give and take between the two of them.

People look for life in things and people, when the only true life is found in Christ.  That’s why the woman Jesus had spoke to at the well had gone from one well to another.  Jesus was asking her, what is your source of life, that’s why he bought up the husband list, to show her.

There has to come a point were there is only one Life-Giving-Well  - and that’s Jesus. And daily, we can draw Water from the well.

 Daily we can receive Bread from heaven.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-29,  “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Do you know it’s possible to sleep at night and wake up tired?  It’s possible to go on holiday and come back weary – because we took a holiday from God, and because there was no time – no time alone with Him.

But when we Seek His face we get Living Manna from the Word of God.  And when His presence is in the air we breathe!

This is your time, and your hour to walk and talk with God.

 Today, right now, we can say, “Father, forgive me for not giving You that time – today I want Jesus in His rightful place in my life.  I thank You for a new beginning and a fresh start in Jesus Name.”

Time alone with God – what a blessing, that care He has for our lives.

 God loves you (Jeremiah 31:3).  He is waiting for that time with you because you are important to Him.
