Good Morning!

When was the last time you read the Bible under an oak tree?  Have you ever prayed while the cool water of a creek ran across your feet?  Wouldn't it be enjoyable to meditate on God's word while watching the sun come up over the horizon?

It is important for each of us to break the normal routine of our time alone with God.  Sometimes the habits of our devotional life can get in the way of our growing closer to God.  In fact, at times they can grow stale and boring.  But there is nothing boring about a God who created the earth in all its splendor and variety.  There is nothing common about being filled with the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to accomplish God's will.  So how do we avoid dry devotional times?  By breaking the routine of the usual and adding some variety to our personal time alone with God.
