Sometimes I think I am running as fast as I can and I cannot catch up!  What has happened to me?  I know I am older and slower but this is ridiculous!  Today as I was having my time alone with God I realized it had been several weeks that my alone time had slipped by me.  Why is it that I don’t seem to have enough time anymore?

I used to get so much more done than do now. Sure I am moving a little slower but I believe it comes down to priorities!  Do I go to bed at night at a reasonable time or do I just have to watch one more thing on TV?  Do I get up when the alarm goes off or do I need just a few more minutes of sleep?  We are admonished in the scriptures to “meditate on these things…”.  I am convicted in these few words!  God is holy and worthy to be praised!  So the big question is how do we change our mindset to get priorities in the proper order?

I studied the writings of Emilee Barnes a few years ago and found these words, “it does not matter when you make your time with God, it simply matters that you make the time”.  Morning is best for me.  No, I am not a morning person but visiting with the heavenly Father first of the day helps me set the tone for the rest of my day.  You may be different from me and in the evening before bed helps perhaps settles and relaxes you for the rest that you need.

Whatever, your case may be try to find just 10-15 minutes a day to visit with God. I know you will find it worth your time.

Philippians 4:8  “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things”.  NKJV

Blessings for you Day,   CSW
