Probably almost a year ago I was having, every Monday during my lunch time, a short "Business meeting with God". This was a time in which I would sit quietly with the Lord, dedicate my business to him, go over various things going on in the business, ask questions, and see what his priorities were.
I stopped doing this some time ago and last week I re-instituted this practice at lunch time. It was neat to re-start this practice. I love traditions and I sense at times that God loves them as well -especially if it means time with his children. Well its our fiscal year-end at work and I have plenty of personal business things going on as well.. However, in spite of the craziness today I decided to spend a short prayer time at lunch. I got into a quiet place in the car having forgotten it was Monday-- business meeting day.. As I was about to start a brief quiet time my attention was suddenly and startlingly arrested as I remembered, "Oh no, this is Monday I almost forgot- our business meeting day".
I shifted and moved right into business meeting mode but I was haunted by the staggering thought.. the Lord was waiting for me. HE REMINDED ME.. He actually looked forward to the time and got my attention to not let the meeting be missed. I am so awesomely moved and floored by this realization and so torn apart inside that God desires me like this. I remember that verse in James that says his "Spirit longs jealously"..
I don't want to distract you with the list of 5-6 things that were resolved and sales that came in during my lunch time so I won't(though they were STUNNING). I would give them ALL up for the knowledge of this personal love of God- this love that is so passionate for us that he waits for us. Oh God help me not to make you wait for me.. Please don't let me make you wait for me.
