Everything will Change

In his book, Teach  Us to Pray, Corey Russell shares some helpful thoughts,

How do we come out of the whirlwind of activity, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, open doors, and opportunities, and build a life of hearing His words? In the simplest terms, it means making a time and place sacred and consistent, where you meet with God and it’s just you, Him, and your Bible. This one decision will dramatically alter everything in your life, and the enemy understands this more than most believers do. A life at Jesus’ feet looks like sitting long enough until all the other voices, inside and out, are drowned out. As soon as you get serious about this, every distraction under the sun will surface in your mind and emotions. Fantasies, seductions, and lusts of being richer, more successful, or more connected will emerge. Fears, insecurities, and lies will manifest. Just stay at His feet.”

Go back over what he said…the moment you start trying to pray, to seek Him, to be alone in the quiet place is the moment the enemy will do all that he can to distract you.  Once again, we must learn to Turn it off, Open it up, and Pour it in!
