When 2017 began, I made a promise to myself to fast and pray, seeking God first. Month number one is coming to a close, and I have denied myself, and I have prayed, but I have not gone into my prayer closet and laid prostrate before my Father. I have not denied anything to him, and as I talk to him, I forgot to also immerse myself in his word. God speaks to you in the quiet times, but he also screams for you to hear him in the noisiness of your life. God should not have to wait for you to shut up and listen, but he will. God should not have to wait to hear your praise, but he will. God should not have to say something to you more than once for you to accept it, but he will. We take God for granted, but all he does is loves us and cover us with that love. and yes his protection.
