A Tent Meeting

“Every time I start to go in and read my Bible or I want to spend some time with the Lord in prayer, the phone starts ringing. I mean, how do they know? By the time I finish, it's time to start dinner! As to my Bible time—it’s out the door.”

 Sometimes, in order to focus on God, we need to get away from all the distractions. Exodus 33 tells us that Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”

This tent was away from the normal flow of traffic. It was a place set apart for meeting with God. We all need a tent of meeting—a place where we can spend some undistracted time in God’s Word and prayer. Your tent of meeting may be in a bathroom, a closet, the hallway, or your car. The important thing is that you find a place where you can meet with Him alone.

Starting tomorrow, where could you meet with God alone—away from the distractions?
