Have you ever felt like your life is too busy? Do you ever find yourself getting to the end of your day and realizing that there were so many things that you intended to do and never got to? I have an intense desire for either more hours in the day our an extended weekend but I know that even if either one of those wishes were granted I would only fill them with other things. I would like to say that I manage time well but honestly I do not. A more accurate statement would be that I survive each day by the skin of my teeth and am lucky if I get all I intended to do done.
In all this craziness that is my day, I find myself skipping a much needed quiet time with my Savior. I spend much of my day at work listening to Christian music, podcast sermons, and audio bible chapters but none of these things qualify as quiet time. I never seem to take the time to just dwell in God. I always seem to be busy to worship and relish in His glory. I wrestle with what He is teaching me and how he is leading my heart daily and yet I spend my rest time in tv, shopping, laziness, and games.
All of these things have contributed to my lack of posts in the last few days. I get to the end of my day and want to rest. I want to do nothing. No chores, no devotions, and no spiritual searching. Have you ever been there? I am so thankful that God is gracious to call my heart back to Him. He is so loving to convict me of my distance from Him. I find that I have to be able to give all of my life to Him both my work, my ministry, and music, and my rest, my relaxation, and my entertainment.
Lord, help me to focus completely on you. May I give my all to you. May I rest in you always. Please forgive me for my selfishness with the time I am given. May I learn how to truly be still and know you. I love you and thank you for all you teach me daily. Amen
Blessings,
Greg
