An Instructive Relationship

Our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ is an instructive one, for He leads us in His ways.

Show me your ways, O Lord,
    teach me your paths; 
guide me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior, 
    and my hope is in you all day long.

Psalm 25:4-5

It is so very important for all of us to focus on our relationship with our Lord, and to remain focused on it.  The obvious reason is that this is an instructive relationship; how can it remain instructive if we are not paying attention to it?

Yes, I know it is so easy to get off track; every day there are distractions and things that pull us away, things that demand our immediate attention.  These are the times that we must remain focused!

Here are a few suggestions to help:

  1. Set aside a time at the beginning of the day for prayer and Bible reading.
  2. Take a lunch break with Jesus and ask Him to be with you the rest of the day; spend a few moments in His Word.
  3. Pray all of the time; ask Him for guidance in everything you do and as you do it.

You will likely be led in His ways.
