Another New Year!

As I start into another new year, I am seeking to be more consistent with my time with the Lord.  So much of the time. I quickly read my scripture or my devotional and by the time I have finished, I don't recall what I just read.   I don't want it to be that way.  This morning I read this in Daily Bread:

You'll go forth a little stronger

With a fresh supply of grace,

If each day you meet the Savior

In a secret, quiet place..  

Too often, Lord, I am not even expecting You to speak.   I come doing my routine "duty"coming into a routine place rather than a secret place with You....hurting myself and hindering what You desire to do in my life and how You desire to speak.   Lord, help me to joyfully seek You, to expectantly listen for Your voice, and to know You want to do mighty things in the life of all Your children...even me!  Open the eyes of my heart that I may hear you!!  

Psalms 119:18  Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from your law.
