Come Away With Me

Imagine you are travelling on a train with the Lord. As you are travelling along you see lots of different signs. Some of these signs are distractions and the difficulty is this: the train stops in response to your attention, giving you time to make a difficult choice. Will you stay on the train with the Lord or will you respond to the call of other things?

Sometimes, even when you stay on the train, you can become distracted and lose your focus. What you focus on is what you become like. The Lord calls you to ‘come away’ from earthly distractions and spend quality time with Him. He has set a banqueting table out just for you to sit at, with Him, and be satisfied.  You have your invitation. Will you come? He is calling you. . . ‘My Beloved, are you coming?’

Activation: 

As you awake greet God and ask Him to lead you, to sit beside the still waters with you.

Do this before you get out of bed if possible. Ask Him what He wants you to know for this day. As you hear from Him, record what He says and then feed on His manna throughout the day. You can repeat this as many times as you find useful. Sometimes it is useful to write down what He says to look back at.

Ps 23:5 (TPT)

You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit.

Song of Solomon 2.13b (TPT)

There is change in the air.  Arise my love, my beautiful companion and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.

James 4.8 (NIV)

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
