The Solitude Experience- Day 3

Day 3 Morning

Hosea 5:10….Judah’s leaders are like those who move boundary stones….

I don’t know exactly what that means, but will research it more when I get back to my commentaries and other resources. This verse did stand out to me this morning as I was reading this chapter. I can think of too many times where I have tried to move the boundary stones that God has established for my life. Usually I just move them a few inches because surely God won’t notice and I won’t feel too guilty. But, it doesn’t work that way does it? I live in the freedom of grace, and I live in the freedom of the boundaries that God has given me.

Went for another walk with Jesus. The loneliness is gone as I have completely submerged myself into being in God’s presence. I love it. My thoughts were today on how I have to keep these kinds of “meetings” going with my Jesus. Not for sake of tradition or to say I have a great prayer life, but because I so desperately need it to be in tune with Him.

This has been good. Really good for me. I would encourage all who are reading this to take the time to find those places of solitude. Why not set a weekend aside each year or every six months and get away from everything and just focus on Jesus. I promise you it is very valuable to your journey.
