Balanced Life Family,
Time is precious. It seems that time passes by so quickly. Days, weeks months and years fly pass before you know it. And once they’re gone, you can never get them back.
You spend your days doing many things. Some things are profitable, others are simply a waste of time. Some things are planned others are unexpected. But it is true that you make time for things that you really want to do.
My sisters, do you want to have a closer relationship with God? Then you need to make time for him. Making time for God is the only way you can develop a personal relationship with him. He already knows you, but you have to get to know him. You’ll never develop a personal relationship with God by simply attending your local church on Sundays. Yes, that’s important, but what are you doing all week long?
You must spend time in prayer. How can you call God your father and you don’t spend time talking to him? The scripture tells us that men ought always to pray, and not faint; Luke 18:1 Not faint means not get tired. It’s time well spent.
You must spend time reading your bible and meditating on the things that you read. I know, some of you say “I’ve tried, but I keep falling asleep.” Sometimes that’s because you’ve put everything else that you wanted to do before your time with God, and then you are too tired and sleepy. And then there are times when the devil will send a spirit of sleepiness to hinder you. Don’t you know the devil doesn’t want you looking into your bible reading and meditating. But you can’t let the enemy defeat you. Keep trying! Don’t give up! Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 Time with God is never time wasted, it’s time well spent.
Finally, you must spend time in worship. Worship him because he is the creator of all. There is none like him, none above him, none beside him. He is God! To worship God you must get in the spirit. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. John 4:24
So be mindful to make time for God. Pray, read your bible, meditate and worship God, because time is precious and time with God is TIME WELL SPENT!
