Time with the Lord...

Have you ever noticed when you love someone all you want to do is spend time with them, or talk with them for hours on end? You cannot seem to have enough time together, ever. When someone else calls to do something, you have to check your schedule to see when you are supposed to have time together with the one you love. The one I love takes precedence over everyone else. If that is so, then why does it seem so difficult sometimes to 'find' time to be with the Lord? Do you ever have that problem? Where the 'jumble of life' seems to crowd out the important things? He is my all consuming passion but, I have to confess, there are times when I feel like it isn't so. Those are the times when I have jumped up and begun my day without meeting with Him first. Oh! The whole timbre of my day is off when I do that. If Christ Himself met with the Father to pray, how much more do I need to? There were times when Christ prayed all night! May I always put Him first and foremost in my life, ahead of all else!

This is so very true! This morning I slept in, and now I know I will be rushed for the rest of the day...I need that time!

We're always so weak, aren't we?

I know just what you mean. I have to literally fight myself and my schedule sometimes for a little daily prayer time. It makes me think of Paul when he talked about why does he do what he knows he shouldn't. That is what is so frustrating ... it is "knowingly" done. Aaaargh! Ah well, God isn't done with me yet and I keep fighting the things in myself that keep me from Him.

We are weak, ladies, but Praise the Lord for the Holy Spirit! Amen?!
