The Bible attests to the fact that there is time for everything being done here on earth. God is the owner and maker of time. He also keeps time and does everything according to His own set time. As men and people who desire to have an uninterrupted fellowship with Him, we need to do that by setting specific time (morning, afternoon and/or night) to seek Him in the place of Bible study, reading and memorization of the word and also in the place of prayers and meditation. Saints through the ages who had cordial and worthwhile relationship with God and attained to greatness in ministry and Christian walk were those who fellowshipped with Him at specific times of the day. A walk with God that is haphazard, unplanned; occasional and without focus cannot endear anyone to God. God desires to meet with you at a specific time and He will be there for you at that same time every day.
*POINT OF EMPHASIS:* Meeting God daily at a specific time is a virtue that all children of God should acquire.
*PRAYER POINT:* Father, help me to be there whenever You are calling on me in Jesus name.
