Day 13

Carving out more time with God in my day.

Always a goal of mine, but especially during this time of fasting.

I read a blog post a few days ago that referenced Ephesians 5:16:

"making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil."

In the King James version, it says "redeeming the time."

I was so encouraged by what the blog author wrote about "redeeming the time" by spending time with Him at the beginning of each day - preparing for battle, if you will. Taking back our day from the enemy before it has even started.

So I'm "redeeming the time" by purposing to START each day with time with Him. I've tried it other ways. They don't work for me. I need the battle prep first thing in the morning. I need to be filled with the Lord's strength from the time I wake up.

Because the days are evil - but the Lord is good. And the victory is His.
