"Priori-TEA" Time

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33, KJV )

Priority Time. A new brew for an old familiar term, Quiet Time. Karin Conlee "coined" this term, or at least presented it to me and a "packed" room, at the Downline Women's Summit. 

Fellowship with Father God. A time to be with Him. Spend time with Him. Seek that first AND then all else is added. God can even redeem the time. There is NO substitute for this time.
Jesus set that example when he slowed His own pace of ministry----teaching, healing and discipling, to pull apart and spend time with His Father. (Matthew 14:23)
Even as one matures, this time is just as important, if not more so.

There is a need for intimacy with Him---to know Him better, that we might love Him more & be enabled to love & serve others well. That teaching has resonated in my mind over the last 6-8 months. From books, various pulpits, blogs, and messages from friends, I know God wants me to pay attention to this GREAT commandment. (Mark 12:30-31)

Intimate time in fellowship with Him is key to embracing this truth as a part of my daily walk. A time just for  me. Me and Thee. Not an accomplishment time.

So.....it can no longer be just a quiet time----it must be a "priori-TEA time" AND it might even get a little NOISY with praise and singing.

There's already been a good bit of caffeinated cuppas consumed during my "Tea With Thee" time, synonymous with a "prioi-TEA" time, so it can "rock, " on occasion.

A priori-TEA cuppa serve with a little sweet bread and a lot of truth from the Bread of Life.
