The Most Important Preparation
THURSDAY04
When you hear the word preparation, what comes to your mind?
Do you think about having enough life insurance, studying for a test, or maybe packing all the necessary equipment before a camping trip?
If it makes sense to prepare for all these events, then think how much more important it must be to prepare your heart for the Lord ().
Today’s psalm is a recitation of Israel’s history and a warning to subsequent generations not to follow that nation’s unfaithful ways.
Despite all that the Lord had done for them, the people had taken God’s provisions for granted and forgotten the mighty works He’d accomplished on their behalf.
They lived for themselves and did not prepare their hearts to be faithful to the Lord.
We readily recognize that many of the things we do in life require preparation.
But do we approach our spiritual life with the same forethought, or do we tend to take more of a haphazard approach?
For instance, do you plan to spend time each day with the Lord in prayer and His Word, or do you tend to seek Him only when you’re facing a problem?
It’s doubtful that we’ll know God very well or become the person He wants us to be unless we put effort into developing our relationship with Him.
In these precious moments of prayer and reflection, we have the opportunity to calmly dwell on the Word as we focus on an intimate relationship with our heavenly Father.
These are the occasions for strengthening our faith, growing in love for Christ, and laying a solid foundation in the Word—all of which are good preparation for whatever troubles come our way.
