Probably the most important aspect of your day involves discovering what God has in store for you that day.
Joshua 1 : 8 says do not let this Book of the law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you wil be prosperous and successful.
Joshua 1 : 8 teaches that the key to being successful involves spending consistent daily time with God and being willing to apply what He teaches you. This "success" is not fame and fortune. It is an inner peace and contentment that comes from fulfilling God's purpose for your life.
All great men and women of God throughout Scripture and history spent consistent, quality time with Him. Your spiritual growth will be directly proportionate to your obedience to God as you spend time developing a relationship with Him.
1 Timothy 4 : 7 says have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.
1 Timothy 4 : 7 teaches us that you chose to become godly and that it is a result of daily spiritual discipline. No one becomes godly by accident. It is your choice.
Of course, any discipline requires time. Marriage enrichment seminars teach that the way you spell the word, "love," is T-I-M-E. Time is the greatest evidence of our love. Just as it proves love to a marriage partner, it is the test of your love for God.
You will gradually learn that your devotional life or lack of it affects everything else you do - home life, school, work, relationship, attitudes, reactions, etc. It enables you to see all of your daily situations, good and bad, from God's perspective. You might say it wakes up your spiritual consciousness.
