Per your request, this month I will be focusing on quiet time with God. If you were on my 5 day challenge on periscope, you received some short, simple but powerful strategies to get started if you’ve been struggling with this topic. If not, you missed a really good time. We had a blast!
In today’s busy world, people say they are busy. But let’s be honest, we make and create time for what we want to do or have. If it’s important, we make and create time for it. If it’s not, we don’t. So it’s safe to say we really aren’t that busy, we’ve just decided that quiet time with God isn’t as important as some of the other things we ‘have’ to do.
I think we assume that when we don’t create time to spend with God, it’s not that big of a deal. Well guess what, it is. Quiet time is essential to your walk with God. Quiet time is essential to not only hearing from God, but hearing CLEARLY.
If the only time we go to God is when we need something, what type of message does that give him?
Let me explain…
What if the only time someone in your life spoke to you or spent time with you, was when they wanted or needed something?
They never called or texted, just to talk and see how you were doing. They ONLY called when they wanted or needed something.
I bet you can think of a few people that come to mind.
Well we don’t want to be that person with God. We want to intentionally spend time with him on a regular basis, whether we need something or not. And let’s be honest, we always need God. There’s never a time when we don’t need Him in our lives. But by spending time with Him, we show Him we appreciate him.
I go in depth on this topic in the recording from day three of the 5 day quiet time challenge. Click here to check out day three of my quiet time challenge on why quiet time is crucial and critical.
Once you check out the video, let me know if you’ve been guilty of putting everything and everyone above your quiet time with God.
Until Next Time…
