What an incredible time we had in church today! Yes! Our services were open and online! It was so good to be with church family. My heart is full today.
We had to be there early, so I picked a super easy outfit that I wouldn't really have to think about... And that would fit, since I've been struggling trying to get off about 5 quarantine pounds... 😜
A light cotton tunic and my favorite pair of jeans with easy short booties. What I love about tunics is they cover most of the "extra"... 😊
Today, I just wanted to talk about how important our time with God is. It's so easy to rush through it and get on with our day.
When we are in a hurry with our time with God, we blast through it without much thinking. I'm guilty of this.... I have a list of things to do, my day started late, and I'm pressured to get moving.
But when I rush through, my mind is ticking off my list, not paying attention to my Lord. Am I even listening, what am I doing? I'm definitely not spending quality time with Him.
Psalms 119:27 Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.
Lord, help me push the list away and press into You.
The Lord is so gracious and waits for me to get in line with Him.
Remind me, Lord, that time with You is a wise investment, that the returns far outweigh anything I put in or sacrifice. Your desire is to fill me with Your presence, joy and peace. Thank you, Lord!
Hebrews 13:15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
Blessings!
Very good reminder about slowing down and spending time with God. We all need the verses about love. Thanks for sharing.
