Slow Down

 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you...many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.  Psalm 32:8; 10

I went to the grocery store the other day and noticed the front of the store was covered in Valentine's day decorations and it made me realize that another holiday is quickly approaching. The flowers and cards made me ponder this question, "where has all of the time gone?"  It feels like it was just yesterday that we were celebrating Christmas and now Valentine's day is next week?? Whoa!  We have neighbors who still have their Christmas decorations up!

Something that we can easily forget to do when we become so 'busy' with the demands of each day is to forget to spend time with our loving Father.  It's a shame, and I am certainly guilty as charged, but just like any good relationship, we must give God time every day if we ever want to deepen our walk of faith.

Ponder this for a moment...God is omnipotent, right?  So, if we are to slow down and spend adequate time with Him, wouldn't He also have the ability to slow time down for us?  I believe that He can and will help us to accomplish more in less time if we are willing to engage in something that He loves so much-just spending time with Him-the Creator of the Universe.

Look at your daily schedule and make more time for God-He is more important than the meaningless things that seem to occupy the majority of our time every day!
