Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

There’s a saying that says, “Rome was not built in day.” What this saying means is that it took time to build Rome. I want to go a step further and say, the plans for Rome were not established in a day. It takes time to establish a plan for a city. If it takes time to establish plans for a city, surely it takes time to hear, know, and establish the plans for the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, we have filled our lives up with our careers, families, and entertainment and have limited God to a couple of minutes a day. Entering the presence of God allows us to know the plans He has for us and our families. The presence of God shows the areas where we need improvement. The presence of God reveals the source of our favor. This is just a short list of the benefits the presence of God provides.

Let’s make an effort to spend more time with God each and every day.
