Time with God to pave the way
There’s someone that you have been meaning to call that you haven’t. There’s a friend or family member that you’ve been meaning to visit that you haven’t. There’s something broken that you need to fix but you haven’t. There’s a house that you need to clean but you haven’t, and a car that you need to wash, and a hole that you need to mend, and a garden you need to plant, and gutters you need to clean. And the list goes on of all the things that you haven’t yet done.
I have found that when have difficulty getting to all the things that need to be done in life, I probably haven’t “gotten” with God much that day. Time with God (prayer, meditation, songs of praise, silence, fasting, worship) at any time during the day can pave the way for everything else that needs to be done. But not only that, it will bless it as well. So make that call, or that visit, fix what’s broken, clean that house, wash that car, mend that hole, plant that garden and clean those gutters; but before you set out to do those or any of the numerous other things, spend some time with God. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get everything else done but you’ll be in a better place as you try.
