Schedule The Time

And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus, but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.   Luke 5:18-19(ESV) It is not always convenient for us to adjust our lives so that we are able to sit in the presence of God. Often, we need to make an effort, change a schedule, or create a time slot. It seems that sometimes the smallest things keep us from meaningful time with God. We get up late, have too much to do around the house, are preparing for guests, have unexpected emergencies, and so forth. If we used the same excuses in our human relationships, we would have limited, scattered, and poor relationships with people. If we want to be close to God, we need to spend time with Him. If we want to think like He thinks, speak as His representative, give as He would give, and show the world we live in who He is by our everyday life, we need to spend time with Him.  For now, the choice is ours.
