The Heat of the Day

Abraham sat in the tent door in the heat of the day (Gen. 18:1). The heat of the day is early afternoon and would indicate a time of pressure, deadlines, rush, tension and the like. As the Lord appeared to Abraham during this time, so He desires to have a moment of fellowship with us during the heat of the day.
Though an old man, Abraham showed energy and diligence in providing food and refreshment for his visitors. How often older ones put younger ones to shame by their selflessness and zeal while not having the same youthful abilities or strength.
Do we make use of opportunities during the busy day for fellowship with the Lord? Abraham desired to provide something for his guests; likewise, it is our privilege to minister to the Lord by communing with Him. These times can be real feasts for our souls, and yes, for His heart as well. It need not be worship, but simply the mutual enjoyment of like interests.
Many times throughout the day the Lord "knocks at the door" in order that He may enjoy fellowship with us. If there is that sensitivity to His voice during the heat of the day, we will happily anticipate the cool of the day when are free to spend more than just a moment in contemplation upon those things concerning Himself.
Behold; I stand at the door, and
knock' if any man hear My voice,
and open the door, I will come in
to him, and will sup with him,
and he with Me.
Rev. 3:20
