While relaxing and enjoying this 4 day weekend, I got to thinking about what's really taking up my time. Not just this weekend, but my life in general. I work, I sleep, I spend time with friends, I watch t.v. I read, I write, I play with Legos... Sounds like a great list, right? But something is missing.
Where is Jesus in all of this? Yes, I know Jesus is in everything I do, but why am I not specifically making time to invite Him into my life? Am I so busy that I can't take 5-10 minutes to read the bible, do a morning devotion, or even pray before a meal? Trust me, my life is not SO important that I can't spare a moment for God.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying doing all these things are bad, but when they overtake your life and relationship with your Father, that's when things get a little dicey. One of my favorite evangelists, Todd White, once said, "God is ok with you having stuff, He is not ok with stuff having you." This works the same way with activities. Enjoy some free time, go out and live your life, but make sure you have time for the Man that created this life you so enjoy.
You have 24 hours in a day, there's plenty of spare seconds, minutes, maybe even hours that you can spare for worship.
I challenge you, (and myself) to really evaluate, or for some, reevaluate your schedules and see where you can take out some non essential activites and add a little more Jesus.
