If we know that we are going to spend five minutes each day silent and actively listening to God how does it affect our behavior?
Well can I encourage us if we are struggling with any sort of sin this might be the perfect opportunity for the Holy Spirit to be able to speak to us, and counsel us in how to walk out of what is trying to entrap us.
Our default setting as humans is to hide from God when we sin. As Adam and Eve hid in the garden so we move away from God in shame rather than moving towards Him in repentance asking for His saving grace to set us free.
When we sin we can hide from God for a day, or a week, or a month which can sadly become a permanent attitude.
Yet when we decide to spend five minutes each day before a holy and loving God suddenly the sin which seemed very appealing before now seems awkward and clunky, and we decide we would rather not ruin our day or our time with God.
Try it and I know you will find it an amazing sin deterrent,
a tonic against sin.
This daily five minutes with God can be life changing for good.
Any deterrent against the negative affects of sin in our lives is good.
