Wow, so I guess some of you are wondering why I haven't posted in a while. The fact is I have been extremely busy. However, that leads me to my topic for this week. In the middle of our busy schedules do we remember to make time for God?
It is often really difficult to cram in all the important events in our lives that are not God related. So many times we give precedent to everything else in our lives that we deem important, and in doing so we simply squeeze God out.
I think it is time that we re-evaluate our priorities. Let's take a closer look at what is really important, and see where we can make some sacrifices. Maybe that hour on the computer, or that hour watching T.V., or those HOURS on the phone, can be shortened to give God His time. Yeah, that's right, I went there... and I bought a t-shirt.
God's time is necessary to build a relationship with Him. We must spend time in prayer and Bible study, to insure that our lines of communication are clear. Think about your best friend. Now imagine not talking to that person for 3 months or longer. How strong do you think that friendship will be after a while?
Not only is God's time necessary, it is commanded. Remember #1 of the 10 commandments? "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:2) Every time we squeeze God out of our schedules, in essence we have placed a "god" before Him! OOPS! My challenge to us this week is to change our routines. Give God what is His, and remember where our priorities should be.
