Have you ever become engrossed in something you forget to take care of your own basic needs. Food, water, exercise (not judging) – all become of little importance when you are laser focused.
If it’s so easy to lose focus of our physical needs, how much easier is it to ignore our spiritual needs? There’s a saying that goes something like this – “If you skip one day of spending time with God, He will miss it. If you skip two days of spending time with God, you will miss it. If you skip three days of spending time with God, everyone around you will miss it!”
God wants to fill us with His strength, love, and power every day. But all too often
we’re focused on something else. She wants the warmth and comfort of her blankets, what do we want? Do we want that thing more than we want the spiritual nourishment that God provides? The crazy thing is that we can have both! God gives us the desires of our heart when they align to His will for our lives. We’re more in sync with His will when we spend time with Him. Therefore, our heart’s desires are more likely to be in His will… do you see the pattern?
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You may or may not agree with that, but it often sets the tone for the day. So does our daily time with God. It fuels us to handle the things of our day with strength and grace that we wouldn’t have on our own. If you don’t want to do it for you, do it for the people around you… it makes us all better!
Be blessed!
