Put It on the Calendar - Daily Devotional by Max Lucado

A quiet time with God is very similar to a special date. Denalyn and I like to go to the same restaurants over and over again. When we’re there, we remember special moments we’ve shared before. Our hearts open up, and we talk to each other. We listen, we laugh, and sometimes we cry. I love those times! So does God. A quiet time with God is very similar to a special date.

Here are some tools to help you keep your date with him special: Select a slot in your schedule and claim it for God. Take as much time as you need. Your time with God should last long enough for you to say what you want and for God to say what he wants. Bring an open Bible—God’s Word, his love letter to you. Bring a listening heart, and listen to the lover of your soul. Make sure your date with God is on the calendar, and do everything in your power to keep it special.
