This blog post is based off of 2 Chronicles 29:1-11 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
King Hezekiah took the throne at the age of 25. And even at this young age, he knew just what he needed to do first - cleanse the temple and offer a place for the people to worship.
Most of us have a long to-do list of our days. We have places to go, people to attend to, and things to get done.
Being that I am the "queen of my house" (like today's devotional calls it) there are things to be done at home when I'm working all day. So my day is usually packed with working, school, and then cleaning or just keeping house. I do have a lot on my plate and time can get away from me very easily.
Even though my to-do list runs long and many things have to get done each day this time spent with in my Bible and in prayer is so important to me. When I think about eliminating something from my day this can't be it. I need this time and God needs to hear from me!
Making time for God is a must in our lives. The devotional said it best, "The best way to run a home, a business or a country is from your knees in prayer". So make sure this is something on your to-do list. Cross other things off so you can fit this in to your everyday life! It is a must!
"If God is not the first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, he will be in the last place the remainder of the day." E. M. Bounds
