Spending Time With God

We get so busy with our daily routines that sometimes we forget to spend time with God. It is important to spend time communicating and actually spending time with God. It is necessary in order to have a relationship with him. Imagine having a spouse, significant other, or friend, and hardly ever talking to them. How would that affect that relationship? Or, only talking to them when you need something. Unfortunately, that’s how some of us treat God. The end result is a dysfunctional, if you will, relationship with God.

God designed us to need and depend on him. He desires to be included in our lives. He has the answers to our problems, he is the source of true happiness, he is our Father and creator; the best thing you could do for yourself is to include God in your daily life. You can do that through prayer and fasting. For example, you could pray in the morning before you get out of bed or in the car on the way to work. Whenever you have any decision, large or small, that you have to make consult God first; that’s another example of including God in your life. He’s there for us when times are tough, but he also wants to be a part of our lives when things are going great. Fasting is a great way to spend time with God. When you fast you remove distractions so that you can focus more on God. Another way to spend time with God is when we take the time to give him praise.

We live in a culture that glorifies being busy and time is a tyrant that takes over our lives. Even those who have a relationship with God, tend to follow this pattern that the world has set into place. They have been distracted by the illusion that more is better: more money, more programs, more things, more activity. More is not always better, especially when it prevents you from spending time with God.

God has called us on a solitary path, making time with him being our highest priority. It is a path that is greatly unappreciated and often despised. It does require you to sacrifice your time. God doesn’t force us to spend time with him; we have to choose to do so. God rewards those who diligently seek him (Hebrew 11:6) So let’s start including God in our lives more often. You will definitely see a difference in your life and your circumstances. I’m a witness; when I spend more time with God my life is greatly improved!

“O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.” (Psalms 31: 23-24)
