Giving Him Time

Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:2

There are moments in this life when other things seem much more demanding of our time, interesting, or higher priorities than spending time with Christ. As I sat down to prepare for my devotions this morning I found myself thinking of other things, worrying about my day and what it was going to bring. I hardly could get through my prayer without getting distracted a couple times.

I began reading the devotion for this morning and say that it was about focusing on God and not letting the things of this world distract us! What a way to give me a reality check! Now I know that this page would have still been here whether or not I was being distracted or not, but I know that God was reminding me to give Him time and give Him my attention.

If we give God our attention and let Him be the one who is taking care of all the distractions then we won't jump into the day with the wrong foot. We will be prepared for what is to come and He will direct us.

But you walked away from your first love—why? What's going on with you, anyway? Do you have any idea how far you've fallen? A Lucifer fall! Revelation 2:4

The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. It's that simple. That is the substance of our Message. Colossians 1:27
