A "dinner" one-on-one with God

"Let God transform you and give you a new intelligence." Romans 12.2

André Maurois liked to say : "If you create an act, you create a habit." If you create a habit, you create a character. D.L. Moody, a great evangelist of the 19th century, also said : "If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself."

Learn to rely on God and not on your own strength.

"Habits become destinies." How to live a lasting and profound transformation in your character ? Simply by spending time with God every day, probing the Holy Scriptures that make wise and praying for these truths to become reality in your daily walk.

Choose a quiet and private place where you can "dine" with God alone. This can be done at home or on a ride or in your car when you are parked in a secluded area. In short, choose a place to meet the Lord far from any agitation.

Read a passage from the Word, only a few verses and meditate on it in a spirit of prayer. Ask God that these verses become concrete in your life ... Try to have an ongoing reading, according to the Bible program in a year for example.

During these moments, God will reveal to you what is not his glory in your life : but that this is not a source of guilt but rather that it encourages you to take victories. If you remain guilty, you will soon become discouraged. Learn to rely on God and not on your own strength. He alone is worthy !

Do not forget : "Habits become destinies".

A decision for today

Decide to take daily time to meet God.
