This world can be crazy. So many things demand your attention. Sports, school, jobs and friends are just a few examples. It can be hard to find time to read your Bible or pray. Or maybe you do find time, but you can’t seem to focus. I know I have been there before.
But this is not what we were designed for. We were designed for a close relationship with the God who created the universe. The same God who designed the galaxies created us. The God who created everything knows us. He wants us to spend time with him.
What do you spend time on? You probably have friends or family who you hang out with. Do you ever think about the fact that God wants to spend time with you like you spend time with your friends? This does not have to be complicated. Besides reading your Bible and praying, you can play a worship song while you are in the car. Or you can do what I do and write or read something inspiring. Tell him about your day. Ask him for what you need. Thank him for the small blessings and the big ones. Find ways to focus on him. He deserves our attention. Because He is:
The Man who died
Spectators threw taunts at Him
Not knowing He was the God who cried
The God who sweated blood for them
His body broken for our sin
Blood poured out to heal
Death thought it secured the win
Darkness didn’t know His zeal
Flicker of hope breaking through the night
The Son of God breathes again
With that breath he makes all things right
His life gives us eternal gain
He sacrificed so much for us. He gave up everything He had so that we could live with Him. He did what was thought impossible for us. He defeated death for us. He loves us so much. He gave us more than we deserve. His love is immeasurable. I want to serve someone who loves us, don’t you?
