Come Away by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 08/30/11

“I think of the love of God as a great river, pouring through us even as the waters pour through our ravine at floodtime. Nothing can keep this love from pouring through us, except of course our own blocking of the river. Do you sometimes feel that you have got to the end of your love for someone who refuses and repulses you? Such a thought is folly, for one cannot come to the end of what one has not got. We have no store of love at all. We are not jugs, we are riverbeds.” – Amy Carmichael

“All my life I dreamed that a handsome king would come serenade me at my window and whisk me away! (Sigh) Enough daydreaming. I guess I’d better read my Bible and pray.”

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Do you realize that our time in the Word and in prayer doesn’t have to be a dull routine? There’s an incredible King who loves you. He’s pursuing you. He wants to spend time with you and reveal Himself to you. He does that through prayer and through His Word.

In Song of Solomon 2, the king asks his bride to leave what she’s doing so they can spend time together. He calls from outside her window and says, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.”

Your King is at the window. God wants to spend time with you. How will you respond today?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
