Too Busy?
From the Daily Bread-- ''If we’re too busy to spend time with God, we’re simply too busy''
How many of us have said we just don't have time to read our Bibles, go to church or even pray? Is it really that we have no time or that we don't set aside time? I know I've been guilty of this, especially when I worked. I understand the busyness of the week's schedules and the exhaustion that follows. My weekends were for sleeping in and the thought of getting up early on Sunday just got pushed aside. That's too busy of a lifestyle tho. Retiring at 30, slowed me down and rearranged my time and what activities were important to me. Church and bible study are now priorities. Its true, they refresh your mind and soul for the week.
Take time for God. Nothing should be more important than cultivating a relationship with the Lord, and nothing is more essential to maintaining that relationship than a daily time alone with the Lord in the Word and prayer.
He spends every second thinking about you and working on your behalf.
