Good Morning,
The title of the writing today is "Call to Prayer," and it is written by Corinne Mustafa. Her theme is the fact that in all religions prayer is seen as a requirement and a way to talk to God and spend time with Him. We pray to Him in times of need, in times of thankfulness, and times of loneliness and at all other times when we want to connect with God. Corinne wrote., "I am mindful of the importance of putting God first. There are times when I "sneak a peak" so to speak. However, it is always my intention to spend time with God first thing and give Him and me our time together."
There is a challenge in this writing to put God first...th spend time with Him before we go to our media toys . Will you be willing to accept this challenge?
God bless
Corinne

Today's Devotional
"Call to Prayer"

Then there are the symbols of prayer. Some Christians have an open Bible that they read, meditate, and pray about. Other Christians pray with rosary beads. Muslims and Buddhists have beads...the list goes on an on according to whatever religious custom is followed.
It seems as though modern people with all the digital and electronic toys that they have hear a different call. In the morning the first thing that they do is to go to their toys to see what new thing is up. They (we) check it out and the result is that we spend time...for those who work the time is limited...catching up on all the news. Then they are off to work. They have not had enough time to spend with God in what is called a quiet time. Social Media has become our God.
I am not a saint, and often I fall short. However, I am mindful of the importance of putting God first. There are times when I "sneak a peak" so to speak. However, it is always my intention to spend time with God first thing and give Him and me our time together.
How about a challenge? For one week promise yourself to leave the toys until after you meet with God, and appraise how that works in your life. I think you will like it, and I know God will like it.
Heavenly Father, Today help me to think of you as more important than anything in my life. Help be to give the first fruits of my day to You. I love you, Lord. Amen.
