Making Time For God

Ever feel like your just running and running… but not getting anywhere? Or worse still, that the only reward you get for trying harder is to get thrown down on your back?

It is a common problem in the gerbil-race of today’s go-go-go society. Yet we need to make time for God.

A common thread that runs through all of the greatest heroes of the Bible, including Jesus the Son of God, David, Daniel, Moses, and Mary is that they all took time out of their heroic schedule to spend in refreshment, meditation, and communication with God.

We need to make time for God.

Here are a few verses that encourage us toward the Christian discipline of silence/waiting on God:

  • Psalm 27:14 – Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
  • Isaiah 26:9 – My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
  • Isaiah 40:31 – They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
  • Lamentations 3:26 – It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
  • Matthew 14:23 – And after [Jesus] had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…
  • Luke 6:12 – In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.
  • Luke 10:39 – Mary … sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching.

Are you starving for want of wonder?

God tells us, over and over again, to focus our starving souls on the superb reality of who He is, what He is doing, and what He promises to do for all who trust in Him.

And God’s invitation to glory in Him is nowhere more explicit than in the repeated command to ‘Behold.’

Justin O. Huffman invites us to meditate on ten of the occasions the command ‘Behold’ is used in the New Testament, and to feast on the wonderful truth we find there.

“Justin Huffman takes the familiar truths of Christ’s gospel and helps us to view them again with wonder—a sense of glory that both fascinates us and fills us with awe. Here is a book that focuses attention on Jesus and says, ‘Behold your God!’.”
     —Joel Beeke


“Behold provides a corrective lens for us to see that there is more to life and invites us to satisfy our deep soul–hunger by feasting on Jesus, the Son of God.”
     —Joel Morris
