It’s always a nice feeling when we’ve met up with a friend for a chat and a coffee, catching up on things and spoiling yourself a little. Have you ever thought about doing this with your best friend – Jesus.
Taking time out, reading a passage of scripture and meditating on it, while also having a nice coffee can enrich your life so much. The first part of James 4:8 says, ‘And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you’ (TLB).
It takes 15 minutes to have a nice coffee. Those 15 minutes when spent reading the word, praying, thinking about a situation or circumstance, your viewpoint can radically change. When you include God in your thoughts, your decision making; when you draw close to Him, He’ll draw close to you. God will come with all of His power, with all His wisdom and all His majesty.
Quote

Prayer
Lord, I want to spend more time with you, thank you that you want to spend time with me, Amen.
Action point
There is little to say other than, have a coffee with God.
