Spending Time With God

I have always found it odd how people have such a difficult time spending time with the creator of the universe. Everything I have ever seen shows that most Chrisitans spend between 3-5 minutes a day in focused fellowship with God. After considering this idea I have come up with four good reasons not to spend adequate time with God: 1. You don't believe in God. 2. You believe in God but you know more than God. 3. Your time on facebook, the internet, t.v., or reading a fiction novel can have a greater impact on your family and eternity than your time with God. 4. God is just one of many gods vying for your time. You love Him enough to give Him whatever is leftover. (side note: Interesting how we often give God our leftovers but we demand His best.) Remember, spending time every day with the creator is not a duty to perform but a priveldge to enjoy. If you have not done it lately, begin to sanctify time every day to make it holy. Set apart at least 30 minutes a day to focus on God. Once or so a month, schedule an extended period of 3-4 hours with God. Be amazed in the knowledge that Jesus gave His life so we might have access into the throne room of God. Don't waste your opportunity to be blessed. If you need help in this area,especially in the extended time area, please let me know. Let's sit down and talk about the importance of a daily time with the awesome creator of the universe. You need never worry about wasted time in God's presence. Time with God is never wasted but always beneficial. Learn to take advantage of one of our greatest privileges.
