I’ve Got Rhythm?

These things are descriptive- not prescriptive.  What I mean is, I’m not suggesting that this list is the authority.  What I am trying to do is help folks see that their own spiritual growth takes thought & action.

How does a Christ-follower develop daily spiritual rhythms?

  1. Start early.
  2. Set a time and place to spend one on One time with God.
  3. Pray before meals.
  4. Involve the spiritual with the every day.

Highlights:

  • Early doesn’t come easy for every person, but for most people early is the best shot at carving out some solitude- which is desperately needed when trying to spend meaningful time with Jesus.
  • If you value Bible reading you really need to set a normal time and place or its just not likely to happen. 
  • Meals are often a social time as well, shared with family, friends, or co-workers.  What a great time to acknowledge God together.
  • A word of warning…praying at any set time like this can become an empty ritual IF you are not genuinely talking to God.  And by ritualistic prayer, I mean meaningless…like just mumbled on auto-pilot with little thought to what is being said or who it is being said to.
  • We would all be better off living life with no separation between sacred and secular.
