Consider how this practice can serve as a powerful tool for self-reflection. When we reflect, we often contemplate our thoughts, actions, and intentions. This introspection is vital for personal growth and spiritual development. During these moments, individuals may acknowledge areas in their lives needing improvement, fostering a genuine desire for change and growth.

Moreover, this practice can foster a sense of community. When we gather for reflection, whether in groups, churches, or homes, we unite in spirit and purpose, encouraging one another and strengthening our collective faith. Many people have experienced profound connections with others through shared moments, creating bonds that transcend the ordinary.

In the face of adversity, seeking solace can be our refuge. For example, countless stories recount individuals finding peace and strength during life’s trials—be it illness, loss, or significant life changes. Through sincere reflection, many have experienced miraculous transformations and a deepened sense of faith.

This reflection underscores the idea that our true strength lies in our character and choices, not in physical prowess. Living by the principles that Jesus demonstrated—love, compassion, and humility—requires a deep-rooted commitment to this practice to sustain us in our daily walk.

Such experiences remind us that opposition may arise, but through this practice, we find the courage to persevere. Many have faced similar challenges and found strength in their commitment to God, which serves as a shield against negativity and doubt.

“This practice is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. It does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him”. This sentiment, expressed by Ellen G. White in Steps To Christ, page 93, encapsulates the essence of what this practice is all about—a mutual relationship with our Creator, where we open ourselves to divine influence.

“This practice is the breath of the soul. It is the secret of spiritual power.” The atmosphere of devotion throughout the day is an important part of spiritual life—especially in these last moments of Earth’s history. Just as our physical bodies require breath for sustenance, our souls need this practice to thrive. It connects us to God, fuels our faith, and empowers our actions.

When I was writing the article listed below, Satan destroyed a glass table that we had outside on our backyard patio! The table was completely shattered into very small pieces! So, after cleaning up his mess, I finished the article with even MORE determination! This incident serves as a reminder that when we pursue our spiritual endeavors, challenges will arise, but with faith, we can overcome them.

This reflection underscores the idea that our true strength lies in our character and choices, not in physical prowess. Living by the principles that Jesus demonstrated—love, compassion, and humility—requires a deep-rooted commitment to this practice to sustain us in our daily walk.

By the way, there was just one paragraph that really resonated with me and seemed to provoke a strong reaction! “My dear friend, true power is not the ability to lift a car with one hand! Nope! It is being able to live in this dark, sinful world, and consistently live with the same loving Spirit as Jesus did when He was here on the earth! That’s REAL POWER! Of course you can’t lay your hands on that kind of power, unless you know the Author of that power”!

Just after typing that paragraph, Satan broke the table outside! It seemed he was trying to “intimidate me” with his little “temper tantrum”! But instead of deterring me, this incident strengthened my resolve to write with conviction and passion! It’s a testament to the fact that when we stand firm in our beliefs, we can overcome any intimidation.

Now that you know just how much Satan hates the article, maybe you’ll want to read it for yourself? This insight can inspire others to deepen their connection with God. And please, send the link to the article to all your friends! Sharing these messages can have a ripple effect in encouraging more individuals to engage in this practice and seek a closer relationship with God.
