Communion With God

Do you enjoy daily communion with God?  The child of God has easy access to God.  But, we might fail to commune as often as we should.  Enoch and Noah “walked with God.”  Genesis 5:24 and Genesis 6:9.  What a blessing they enjoyed, and, as a result, Enoch was taken by God and Noah was saved from the flood.  Jesus was the Son of God, and yet, saw the need and found the time for daily communion.  “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”  Mark 1:35.  Away from the crowds and from his disciples, Jesus sought alone time with God.

Daniel was one who sought daily communion with God.  This young man who sought to develop a character that was pleasing to God “kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God.”  Daniel 6:10.  Communion was found by being alone in his room as he prayed and gave thanks.  The Psalmist speaks to our soul as he writes, “As for me, I will call upon God: and the Lord will save me.  Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.”  Psalms 55:16-17.

We miss something very special when we fail to commune with God.  He is all about us.  We cannot go from His presence.  He loves us as no one can.  Let us “walk with Him” in daily communion.  Let our heart seek Him and our voice cry unto Him.  Let us adopt the philosophy of the aged apostle, “For to me to live is Christ.”  Philippians 1:21.
