Now that you are all set up you may be wondering exactly what you should be doing on your date. I’m glad you asked! Scripture should be included in your Divine Date. Some people like to use bible plans such as reading the bible in a year or taking a psalm or proverb a day. Others may prefer to use a devotional that may have a theme such as grace, marriage, or parenting. If you haven’t guessed yet, I tend to lean toward the devotional group. What can I say…it’s my thing!
You can also incorporate music into you Divine Dates. I have a playlist of songs that speak to my soul and help usher me into the presence of God. Praise and worship in some form are necessary elements to bring to your date. You may want to have a notebook and pen handy in case you feel lead to write something down.
Open yourself up to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. These are suggestions and guidance’s not strict rules or guidelines. Your Divine Date will not and should not mirror mine. This is your personal, intimate time with God and it is specific to you, your needs, and His desires for you.
Also, don’t get tripped up on how long your date lasts. Some people may only need an 15 minutes while others may need an hour. If this is new to you it may be difficult for you to spend an hour. If you’ve been doing this awhile it may be difficult for you to only spend 15 minutes. The goal is to consistently make the time and be fully committed and focused during that time.
Make the date, set the atmosphere, and get ready to be blessed!
