Cultivating A Consistent Devotional Life

An 8-Step Approach

Tyler Cook

Through an intimate, daily devotional time with the Lord, it is possible to grow exponentially in your relationship with  Him. He will release the growth but there are many practical ways to prepare yourself to receive His blessing.

The hard part is not so much being alone with God as it is getting alone with Him. The intense and all-encompassing demands of the world tend to overshadow our need to be with Him. It is easy to put off this sacred time by choosing instead to respond to the need of the moment. Our spiritual life is greatly harmed when this happens. But if we string together day after day of seeking God in the secret place,  the results are astounding.

It is like a small snowball that picks up momentum, growing in mass as it rolls down a mountain. With each revolution, this tiny object grows little by little until it becomes enormous in size and power. It is the same with our daily devotion time;  each day the effects are normally small and sometimes barely noticeable, but after a while, you will look back with amazement at your progress.
