Have You Talked to Jesus Today?

Have you talked to Jesus today? What I find is that it’s sometimes easy for me to read the Bible but skip over prayer, as if spending time in the Word is enough. But it is not. Sometimes we get so busy living life and attending to the myriad of things that are calling for our attention left hand and right. Prayer might accidentally get pushed out the window. But how can we grow in Christ properly and be conformed to the image of His Son unless we daily commune and spend time with Him? Daily prayer is vital and necessary for a child of God. Martin Luther recognized, “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.” Though most people probably won’t be spending three hours in prayer at the start of their day, talking to the Creator and Savior of our souls should be of the highest priority. I heard this hymn called “I Talked to Him Today” and wanted to share it. Hope it encourages you. 

He was lead to Golgotha on the outskirts of town

Then nailed to a rugged cross, as the mockers gathered round. 

The sky spoke like thunder when He finally bowed His head 

He who had given life now hung there dead.

Then His mother and some friends came, to carry him away 

They were trying to speak through a broken heart, but only tears could say.

The sun said cast no shadow on the world's darkest day 

And with one last look, they laid Him in the grave.

But I talked to Him today, and my cares all fell away 

He made me feel like life had just begun.

He said all of my trials can be turned into triumph 

Through the victory that He's already won.

And I talked to him today, and the comfort that He gave 

Filled me with desire to tell the world, that on Calvary he died 

But right now He is alive, I know because I talked to him today.

Mary Magdalene came breathless to the place where Peter lay 

He was searching through his broken heart, trying to find the faith to pray.

But as he heard her joyful story, his sorrow could not stay 

And his hope sprang out through the words he heard her say.

She said I talked to Him today, and my cares all fell away 

He made me feel like life had just begun.

He said all of my trials can be turned into triumph 

Through the victory that He's already won.

And I talked to him today, and the comfort that He gave 

Filled me with desire to tell the world, that on Calvary he died 

But right now He is alive, I know because I talked to him today.
