FIND THE TIME TO BE WITH JESUS

Don’t be too busy. Many Christians get distracted from communicating with God because they are trying to impress others by the involvement in different activities. But we should always check and see if what we are doing is in God’s will AND in His timing. The following poem reflects this thought.

THE POEM

Author Unknown

I knelt to pray but not for long,

I had to much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

For bills would soon be due.

So, I knelt and said a hurried prayer

And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done

My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time

To spread a word of cheer

No time to speak of Christ to friends,

They’d laugh at me I’d fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry,

No time to give souls in need

But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,

I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in His hands God held a book;

It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said

“Your name I cannot find

I once was going to write it down.

But never found the time.”

Is that powerful or what? Knowing this now, do you have time to pass this on?

Conclusion

We should always make time for seeking God in prayer. Nothing is more important.
