'Going Back To A Special Holy Place.'
Genesis 19:27.
a) Abraham started out
b) Early the next morning
c) To the place where he
d) (Only the day before)
e) Had stood before the Lord.
(Through this QT I see that sometimes we should be Going Back To A Special Holy Place)
PRAYER: To be sensitive to the Lord's Directions as we walk with Him.

'Another Lovely Promise.'
Isaiah 49:11.
a) I will make their going easy,
b) Level the mountain road
c) And smooth the path that leads them home.
(This Second one reveals Another Lovely Promise from God)
PRAYER: To trust the Lord's Leading in our life.

There may be times in our lives that we need to go back, as Abraham did, to a certain place where we encountered God. It seems, through reading the Scriptures, that many of the significant people of God had "certain places" where they met with God in a special way. There are two major meanings of this: 1-Physical: They return to a geographical location where they encountered God in that special way, or 2-Spiritual: They return to their "first love" to the Lord.
It says that Abraham 'stood before the Lord', there was a time specifically spent between the Lord and himself. (It happened more than once.) This kind of time seemed very important for Abraham and it surely should challenge all of us who are his children, people of Faith.
We need to make a regular time to come before the Lord and commune with Him, without that time it is difficult to live and walk with Him.
Some "group-minded" people like to come together to spend this time with God (sitting together but individually seeking Him in some way). This maybe helpful for new Believers, but in the long term I do not think it is so useful for spiritual growth. Time that we spend alone with God is always the most meaningful!
In the picture above there is just one cup-cake, it looks delicious to cake fans! In our spiritual life there is a place for us to commune with God, it is our place! It is more special than a cup-cake. If we ignore the cup-cake for just a day, it becomes stale! If we ignore our spiritual life and personal relationship with God we become just like the cup-cake, spiritually stale.
