Don't Take A Vacation!

Summer is upon us and many Christians take vacations from God when they take their family or personal vacations.

This is a warning alert to everyone this summer.  Be determined to keep your appointments with the Father and Jesus wherever you travel, or even if you decide to stay home, God still wants to hear from us.

Aren't you thankful that God never takes a vacation and leaves us?  And, Jesus never tells Holy Spirit that he doesn't want him to lead and direct us when we take a vacation from him?

Earlier in life, I couldn't afford vacations, but when there was money enough, I remember years ago when I went on vacation that I was so excited to get away from life, that I would forget God.  Not sinning, or getting involved is some sin, but simply leaving my bible at home.  Basically, planning everything else for my vacation except time for God.

You know what I mean, haven't you done that before?  Oh, then the Lord reminded me that there is that Gideon Bible in the hotel side table drawer.  Do you think I took that bible out to read it?  Or, then there were those times that I said, "I won't pack my bible, I'll just read the hotel bible once I get to their."  Do you think other things came in to distract me?   YES!

"Praise Be To God" that he never left me, and he always blessed my travels and my vacation.  God, you are so awesome and loving, forgiving and patient!  Thank you Lord.

So, in closing please do not leave God out of your summer.  Everywhere we go, "We are Ambassadors for Christ!"
