I missed my devotions the other morning.
I had started doing them every morning - just a short one, 10 minutes sometimes. But I was starting every day with one. And then one morning people were in our house, I slept in too late and so I went into the day without doing it.
What difference would 10 minutes make?
But it did. The day went differently. I didn't realise it until the day was almost over, and I was thinking back, wondering why I felt different today. Agitated and less at peace.
Nothing in particular went wrong - in fact it was a fairly easy day, and probably less went wrong than other days. But I was different. The way I felt about the day was different.
I didn't realise it until I missed that one day, but since I had started doing devotions every morning, a small inner-peace started going everywhere with me.
It's not like I never read my Bible or prayed before, but I'd never done it consistently. And I didn't start my day with it.
It makes a difference.
Just a thought...
so true Jess!
