We live in a fast-paced world with everything at our fingertips. With the microwave, drive-thru, and Togo options always available, it’s no wonder we never slow down. The mindset is formed “do as much as you can in one day”. And this isn’t just for the business folk or the driven. It’s also in the household. Moms do it too. I know I sure have.

But God is always with us, waiting to encounter us throughout our day. Most of the time we brush off the opportunity or we apologize to God telling Him that we do not have the time to have “quiet time” right now. I must beg to differ and encourage you to change your thinking if this is where you are. Let me tell you why…

Let’s get back to the basics for a moment. You were made to live for and love God. That is your sole reason for breathing, so putting your job, your home, your daily schedules above Him is not only wrong, but it is purposeless when not done with Him. Being with Him is our reason for breathing, our reason for being. So spending time with Him is of the utmost importance. Bill Johnson says “we become like the one we worship”. How do you know what you worship in your life? Whatever has your attention the most. Ask yourself “what has my attention the most? Is God the most important in my life?”

He is worthy of our praise regardless of how we feel or what season we find ourselves in. Where we are in our life stages? Or how busy our schedules are. Remember friends, your reason for breathing is that He breathes life into you. How much more beautiful would your day-to-day be if you did it all with and for Jesus?!

I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below and tell me where you are with this.
