Who are you hanging out with?
"Yay— the weekend!" Life is very busy for most of us, but in spite of our heavy schedules, do we still spend intentional time getting to know God?
Let’s use this time today to continue learning from the zebras. Yesterday we talked about their uniqueness and today there is more to consider.
Did you know that zebras are herd animals? They know how dangerous life is for them if they travel alone. You will never find them without their community.
Right after birth, the first thing that happens is the baby zebra is completely detached from the herd and spends time only with its mother. During this time, the baby zebra gets to know its mama in great detail. It learns to identify her by smell, look and even voice.
Although the baby zebra can already stand by itself fifteen minutes after birth, and even walk an hour later, it will first stay with its mother and learn where it belongs. Without knowing who will give it protection, no zebra will set off into the world!
friend, do you know for sure where you can find protection? I mean, we talk so often about God being our protector, but have you, like the baby zebra, spent so much time with God that you are SURE of who He is? The more time you spend with God, the more confident you are of safety in the storms of life.
"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:7-8 NIV)
This is the God who loves you. He wants to protect you. And you get this assurance of His protection as you spend time with Him. Follow the instinct of the baby zebra…
Get to know your Creator before you do anything else! Spend time with Him daily! Get to know His voice, presence and spirit!
friend, today would be a great opportunity to spend time with Him. You're guaranteed to experience so much more than you would have expected!
I wish you wonderful moments in His presence!
You are a miracle!
