Life is Really Busy So I Have to Slow Down
Every Wednesday and Thursday morning I head out to the office for a time of study. I block off the first half of my day and devote it to seeking the Lord through reading the Bible and whatever else He might lead me to study.
I generally do not have an adgenda during these times other than to drink coffee, and meditate on the W0rd. To a lesser person this might seem frivolous.
This week I have a full plate. We are having our preview service in a new location and there are a ton of details that I still need to attend to. Just looking at my todo list for today alone is enough to send mere mortals into shock.
But still I went and spent time in the Word today. What I studied may or may not make it into my sermon on Sunday. I feel that if I watch over my time with God, He will watch over my ministry. If I focus on my ministry, I very well may mess up both.
So today I put my list on hold, got a cup of medium blend, cracked open the Bible and hung out with Jesus.
Don’t be tricked into thinking that you have to clear your todo list before you spend time with God. You will never clear that list. That is the plot of our enemy. Write you time with God on your planner and don’t let anything mess with it.
