Taking Care of Yourself Series ...
How is your spiritual walk? Do you spend enough time with God that you are happy with your relationship with Him? Are you growing in your understanding of the Word? Are the fruits of the Spirit showing up in your life? What do you need to further build your relationship with Him? What practical things can you do to make that happen more easily?
Our relationship with God is foundational to the rest of our lives. His working in our lives, makes or breaks the quality of our lives and our ability to love and serve others.
I know we are all busy. Some of us work outside of the home. Some have little ones at our feet. We have responsibilities here, there and everywhere. May I encourage you to make your time with God of the highest importance? On a simple level, create a spot in the house where you can tuck yourself away with God and meet Him there often. On a more complex level, you may need to rethink the use of your time and hand off some responsibilities so that you have more time for God. Make the time for this very foundational need in your life. He is our source of strength, joy and love.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8a NKJV

THis is definitely a much needed tip! Hope you are having a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam. Hope you're having a wonderful day as well.
ReplyDeleteThank Jenn for reminding us of the importance of taking some time apart in our day for HIM. He never stops looking after us, but certainly forget to put our eyes in HIS love and tend to run out of strength quite fast.
ReplyDeleteThat should be the first thing in my day. Discipline child Discipline! LOL
Lol! ChicMommy. You're welcome. I find that if I don't spend time with the Lord first thing the rest of my day does not go as smoothly as the days when I do spend time with Him first.
