Time

With a new year brings new years resolutions.

I'm not the one to make them because I usually can't commit to them for longer than a week.

But today I actually thought of one I won't have trouble keeping and that is to spend more time in devotions.

I know God rewards time I spend with Him so why don't I spend as much time as I need?

I do my "quiet time" for ten minutes and I think "ok. I'm done." I almost feel as though I have something better to do.

I have less than a week until I head back to IWU for the Spring semester and, once again, I'm going to be crazy busy with reading assignments, writing papers, etc. and then I'll have an excuse for not doing them (meaning devotions)

I also know God has heard every excuse:

"I have to write this paper."

"I'm too tired."

"I have to read this chapter."

The list goes on.

If I'm serious about pursuing God's heart, I won't make excuses. My schedule will be centered on God, not vice versa.

I know it will be a struggle.

But I also know God is stronger than struggles.

He revealed to me that the amount of time I put into devotions reflects how strong my faith is.
