Absorbing God’s Word
“Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31
Applying God’s Word
One thing I find to be most difficult is to detach myself from the dictates and expectations of this world. I cannot possibly claim to know God or know what His purpose is for me, unless I am willing to spend time with Him.
In April of 1987, I was busier than a termite in a sawmill. A good friend invited me to go away for a spiritual weekend. Without any questions, I said, “Yes.” Even the name “Challenge Weekend” did not deter me.
My decision to get away with God for two days did not change me, but it did challenge me to change. I left with a renewed passion to meet with God each morning in prayer and to meditate on His “Word”. I have been doing that ever since, through good times and bad.
I have participated in numerous Christians in Commerce Challenge Weekends, so that other men and women could realize the benefits of getting away with God, also.
I will be attending another CIC Men’s Weekend this month (4-21 to 4-23) to mark my thirtieth anniversary. If you want to get away with God, call me at 408-472-7576 or log into the CIC webpage at http://www.christiansincommerce.org
Accounting of God’s Word
When was the last time I got away with God?
