“But I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation.”
Psalms 69:13 NLT
If you are like most people today, you are busy. It seems there are literally dozens of things to be done and many appointments to be kept. We run out of energy long before we run out of our schedule. This does not bode well for us nor our most meaningful relationships. We are too busy for quality time and too tired for excellence. What suffers is our quality of life. It is not the number of years we live but the life in those years.
Since we know that Jesus Christ is our way, our truth and life, we need to spend time with our Lord. God has great things planned for us but they can’t be explained and taught in a drive by prayer done in few minutes. No, there needs to be substance, needs to be real time spent with our Lord so he can mold us as he wishes. Quality takes time. If we really want a life of success with the lord, we need to invest in him daily. When we do, he will give us what we need to flourish even in the tough times.
Slow down my friends! Revel in your time with God. Spend time with him and be truly renewed each and every day!
In Christ
