“I won’t always have the time”

This was something that come out of my mouth last week when speaking about a 40 day devotional book. In this book, you sign a page committing to reading a chapter every day. I however, didn’t sign the page “in case I don’t have time that day.” I didn’t want to break the “contract”.

What if God said to me “I will do it when I get time.”

“I hear your prayers, I just have done so much for other people today, that I don’t have 5 minutes to spend on you.” What if God said that? How would I feel in that situation?

I will find the time. I will make the time. Instead of spending 15 minutes scrolling through Facebook, I’ll spend 15 minutes doing a devotion.

The problems, goals and activities I have in this life feel so trivial, petty, and unworthy of my attention. The closer I’ve grown to God, the smaller everything else is appearing. ❤️

In today's fast-paced world, finding time for spiritual practices can be challenging. Many individuals grapple with balancing daily responsibilities while seeking a deeper connection with their faith. This article emphasizes the need for personal commitment, encouraging readers to reflect on their priorities. The act of setting aside time for devotion—whether through prayer, reading scripture, or meditation—can strengthen one's relationship with God. Instead of opting for social media or other distractions, choosing to engage in spiritual activities can lead to greater fulfillment and peace. It’s a reminder that amidst all life's trivialities, nurturing our faith should remain a top priority. Furthermore, embracing vulnerability allows individuals to acknowledge their struggles and seek support from their faith community. Sharing one's journey can foster connections and inspire others to commit to their spiritual practices as well. By prioritizing devotion, not only do we grow spiritually, but we also cultivate resilience against life's challenges, fostering a more balanced and meaningful life.
