Psalm 103:2
Last year, I realized how easy it is to give your best time to everything but what matters most. We pour our time into work, family, and endless concerns, but in the process, we neglect what’s truly vital. God, who deserves our best, often gets our leftovers: the time when we’re tired, distracted, or rushing. I nearly let my spiritual life fade, not because I doubted, but because I became careless. That’s why I’m here now, in the quiet mountains of Ireland, giving Him what He appreciates most. Time that costs the giver. Time that breaks routine. Time that isn’t automatic. Time that must be created with purpose. The words below still speak to me. And if you let them, they might speak to you too.
Create Time For God
“Psalm 103:2, 17-18, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children, to such as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commandments to do them.”
When you are caught up in the whirl of everyday activities, it is difficult to make a good decision. In the same way, you cannot think well while on the run.
In the hectic, busy rush of daily life, don’t allow your life to get so full that there is no room for God. We must find room in our hearts to bless the Lord always.
You will never find a convenient time to develop your relationship with God, you must create it. God is most honoured in our sacrificial offerings but dishonoured in our offerings of convenience. All offerings of inconvenience are sacrificial.
While making time to read the Word of God and talk to Him, do not forget that to dialogue with Him, you also need to make time to sit back in faith and listen to what God has to say. Even when He seems to be silent, God is still saying something.”
– Prophet TB Joshua
