Nothing will help us grow spiritually more than spending time alone with God every day, reading His Word and praying. I know our lives are busy today, but time alone with God is essential to our spiritual welfare. Most of us wouldn’t think of missing a meal, yet we miss our spiritual “meals” when we neglect God’s Word–and we end up spiritually weak.
Even five minutes alone with God each day can renew and strengthen your soul.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

The Singing Net Surfers
Psalm 104:33 I will sing to the
Lord as long as I live; I will sing
praises to my God while I have
my being.
Even more than our physical bodies require nourishment, our spiritual selves must have time in communion with God to grow and remain strong. Each prayer, each time we think of God or our relationship with God, we receive the spiritual sustenance we require to grow into fully mature spiritual beings.
When we act according to God’s will, we become a portal for God’s love into the world. This is spiritual exercise. And, just as we require spiritual food, we also require spiritual exercise to become the spiritual beings, the children of God we were created to be.
So today, let us feed our souls with God’s presence and then exercise our souls by acting according to God’s will. Then we will have a healthy, growing and strong spirit. Then, we will be living in the Eden created for us.
Working out with God,
