TPDL Day #11 - Becoming Best Friends with God

Do you know anyone who talks just to hear his or her own voice? They tend to ramble on about topics that are not really relevant. They seem to be all over the map when they speak.
Have you ever been in a one-sided conversation with someone? They are very overbearing. They will not let anyone get involved in the conversation. They cut others off in mid-sentence. They do not listen while others are talking. While their mouth is closed they are just thinking about the next thing they are going to say.

Would you consider this communication? I would answer this question, "No."

However, this is the way many of us conduct our prayer life or our communication with God.

We are able to talk to God through prayer. Yet often times, we can go days without speaking to Him. Our prayers are continually focused on ourselves. We rarely ask what it is that He wants or needs.

He is able to speak to use through His word. However, most of us have not read the whole Bible and do not spend time studying what it says.

Nike has the slogan, "Just Do It." But in order to "Just Do It," you have to "START." If you do not have consistent, open communication with God, START. If you currently do not read and study your Bible on a consistent basis, START.
