Today, carve out quality time to spend with God. When was the last time you placed your plans on hold to make sure you spend some time with the Lord? We know that it takes time to build a lasting relationship. As we consider the time we put into our relationships, we can't neglect building one with our heavenly Father.
Life is full of distractions, and they tend to remove us from getting in God's presence. Too many distractions pulls us away from spending time with our Father. Here are a few tips to consider:
1. Find the right time - Whether its in the morning, mid-day or evening, find time when you know you can devote your attention to the Lord.
2. Give family & Friends a heads up - Sometimes you have to let folks know that you will be unavailable for a period of time. The majority of our distractions comes from a phone call, text, social media alerts, etc..
3. Where's your quiet place? Depending on whether you have children or not, this can be a challenge. However, if you purpose in your heart to be in the presence of the Lord, this may require you to sacrifice your time. Getting up early or going to bed after everyone else could be a viable option.
When you make a conscience effort to seek the face of the Lord and build your relationship, you will find that your time spent was worth putting everything and everyone on hold. Remember, everything else can wait. Jesus on the other hand should be our priority. Don't let distractions pull you out of his presence, remove you from your assignment or tempt you to waste your time being busy.
