Good Thursday Morning Blog Family. How’s everyone doing this beautiful Thursday morning? I pray today as well as your week has been awesome and filled with God’s grace and mercy. Praise God.
In the title of the blog, I asked if you were too busy for God and if your answer was yes, then you are way too busy. God gives us 24 hours in a day and you should spend at least one of those hours with Him. That one hour you spend with God would make the other 23 hours so much better.
People say, between work, home and kids they have no extra time. To get everything done they need to get done, they could use more than 24 hours. Well guess what? God knew what we needed before we actually knew. So, if He only gave us 24 hours in a day, apparently that’s all He knew we would need. We just need to learn how to manage the time He gave us and managing that time starts with Him.
We should be scheduling our time around God and not scheduling God around our time. Setting aside one hour a day to have some one on one time with your Heavenly Father. This is something we should be looking forward to every day. Knowing that when you get in His presence, everything is going to be alright. Walking away with answers to problems, healing’s on the way, answered prayers, heaviness lifted, and feeling His peace. You know the God kind of peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
So, if you are one of those people that are too busy for God, here are a few suggestions. Let’s take a look at our daily schedules and find that one hour that we actually waste, everybody has one. I have listed a few ways below that could give you that one hour with God:
- How about having lunch with God (awesome lunch partner).
- Turning the tv off one hour earlier every night and reading your Bible.
- Going to bed one hour earlier and getting up one hour earlier to get before Him.
- Have a one hour family bible study every evening by yourself or with your family.
- That morning and evening commute to and from work, talk to God or listen to some praise and worship music.
Consider the rewards and benefits from giving God just one hour of your time everyday. Time with God is more than church on Sunday mornings and bible study on Wednesday nights. Time with God should be your every day life, all 24 hours. If Jesus felt it necessary to spend time with God and He was Jesus, don’t you think You should as well? Just saying. God Bless 🙂
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we come to You in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Lord and Savior. Giving You all of the praise, honor and glory that belongs to You. Father, thank for giving us the 24 hours in each day, now help us to have a heart to give some of that time back to You. You are such a loving God and Father and we as Your children need to show You that we appreciate all that You do for us. Help us to want to take some of that time every day and spend it with You. Not always asking for something, but wanting to know what Your thoughts and plans are for us that day. Help us to have a heart after Yours. Amen.
