IS THERE GRASS ON YOUR PATH?

This devotion was emailed to me by a very dear friend.  I thought you, my readers would find it as much a blessing as I did...  May all your prayers be answered according to the Lord's plan for your life and your hearts be fill with joy!

Psalms 62:8 "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."

Early African believers were earnest and regular in private devotions. Each one reportedly had a separate spot in the thicket where he would pour out his heart to God. Over time, the paths to these places became well worn. As a result, if one of these believers began to neglect prayer, it was soon apparent to the others. They would kindly remind the negligent one, "Brother, the grass grows on your path."

Prayer is a time when we can be completely intimate with the Lord -- we can share all our burdens, heartaches, situations and life struggles... but sometimes we need to get away into the thicket, alone, and be intimate with Him! The Lord loves to be intimate with us! He doesn't want a superficial relationship of recited prayers -- but a deep relationship with Him -- the One who loves us with a love that is everlasting!
If grass has begun to grow on your path, take some time out and find your way to that spot in the thicket today. God awaits you!

The most important thing a believer can do to protect their walk with the Lord is to be a Berean
They are mentioned in Acts 17:11, as a noble-minded bunch of eager believers who searched the Scriptures daily, because they wanted to be sure Paul and Silas were accurate in their teaching.  These believers wanted to be sure for themselves that Paul and Silas' teachings were coming from the word of God and not just some fancy preaching.
