Slow down
John 14:8-9
“Philip said, Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show Him to you?”
Are you missing God? Sometimes we get SO busy, distracted, or side-tracked that we totally forget about Christ. He’s trying to talk to you, spend time with you, show you how crazy He is about you, but you are too busy.
S L O W – D O W N
Sit down and just be still.
Don’t get so busy that you overlook Christ. There are billions of people on this earth and yet His eyes are on YOU! He cares for you and longs to spend time with you and talk to you. There’s 24 hours in the day and you can take a little bit of that time and spend in quietness before Christ, worship, prayer, journaling, reading the Word, or all of the above.
I don’t know about y’all but I NEED time with The Lord daily. I can totally tell when I’ve been slacking off with my quiet time. I’m much more needy, clingy, and touchy, I am sensitive and people tend to get on my nerves. WHY? Because I’m empty and need Christ. I love doing life with Jesus. I crave our talks and love digging into His Word and meditating on verses and listening to worship. My routine is to make a cup of coffee, put on Kim Walker Smith, Derek Johnson, Elevation Worship or whatever I want to listen to on my iPad, get my journal and my Bible and just GO. I seriously adore that time more than anything else in this world. I just crave intimacy with Christ and at His feet is where I long to be.
So, take just a few minutes and thank Him for life. Spend time reading a devotional or journaling your prayers. Be honest with Him. Don’t overlook Him and don’t ever get so busy and distracted that you miss Him. He longs for you and wants your whole heart!
Be still and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10
