Isaiah 58:11
Keeping up with your spiritual disciplines is something that requires time and attention.
If you let your devotional life slide, it becomes a source of irritation and frustration, and even a source of embarrassment.
Benefits of the inner garden
1. an eternal perspective on reality (Psalms 2:1-6)
God is sovereign and He has a plan.
2. an intimate friendship you can develop with God. (Psalms 51:10-13)
The more time you spend with Him, the closer you get to Him.
3. a fear of your accountability to God. (Ps. 39:8)
Although God is an intimate friends, He is also the omnipotent God who punishes sin.
Uzziah (II Chronicles 26) We will be humbled if we fail to stay in touch with God and keep His Word.
4. an awareness of who we are in comparison to God (Psalms 8:3-6)
5. a spiritual reserve in moments of crisis (Psalms 119:49-52; 92-95; 141-144)
It is harder to hear God speak when you are overwhelmed by your own pain and disappointment.
