"People today are crying out for the Son of God to be put to death. There is no room here for God’s Son right now— no room for quiet, holy fellowship and oneness with the Father."
~Oswald Chambers
A flurry of thoughts with the statement above as their theme has been swimming in my head recently. How often have I or a member of my family said, "...we don't have time for......"?
What do we make time for? I make time for work... lots of it. I make time for my daughter (when I don't have to work). I make time for my wife (everytime our relationship feels strained and desperately in need of a fix-up). On Sundays I fit church in, and once a week we have small group. My logic is faulted.
Why can't I start with the things of God and work backwards from that point? Perhaps I cannot completely rearrange my life's schedule, but I can always work on my life's priorities. If I am more concious about it, much of my ministry for the day should have been completed while at work. Would I then come home energized instead of drained?
Lord that I would hold you up as my priority and let the world filter into the overflow of your mercies....
