My Bible study yesterday was really eye opening for me. First off, the book said that not spending time with God is a sin. I read over that like 25 million times not wanting to believe that. No, no, that can’t be a sin. But, separation from God is a sin. I had never thought of it that way. If that doesn’t encourage you to spend more time with God, I don’t know what will. I put so many things before God, it is ridiculous. There is no excuse for me not having a daily quiet time with Him. If I add up all the time spent on Twitter, Facebook, and reading other blogs, then I know that I have at least 15 minutes to spend with God every day.
The hard part is finding a quiet time. Children can be such a huge distraction during your quiet time. I highly recommend finding a time when they are still sleeping. Six in the morning would probably work, but I can’t move at that time. I have visions of myself getting up at 6, grabbing my coffee, sitting in my sunroom, and spending time with my Savior. Nice vision, but hard to put into practice. After all that He has done for me, I really should try harder.
So, internet, I vow that I will take the time. Join me, and try to find at least 5 minutes every day to open your Bible and pray. You will not miss those few minutes that you devote to your Lord and Saviour.
I am with you on this one, sister. This is something God has opened my eyes to lately as well. It’s so hard to “find” the time. But Ive realized I just have to make it. And when I do, it’s then that my day is so much “easier”, you know? Do you have a good devotional book you are using, because if you do I’d love to know what it is.
