Examine your life to see what is hindering your passion for God. Consider ways to carve out time each day to be alone with Him. As you go about your routine, seek His guidance and listen for His voice. You, too, will eventually count everything else as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. (InTouch Magazine, Devotional 4/9/10)
This is an extreme challenge for my crazy hectic life. I do so desire to connect with God and seek his wisdom and guidance every day all day long. But the way this american 21st century life is, that is near impossible. And I am sure I am not alone in this…
But God doesn’t just want us to know him, he wants us to choose him like he daily chooses us. And by choose I mean love because at the heart of choosing to be passionate about something is to love something deeply. I absolutely want to be passionate about God (read Love desperately)…
But it begins with making time with God a priority. Where you spend your time, talents, and money reflects what you truly are passionate about. You can talk all you want but it’s what you actually do that speaks to the real motives of your heart…
Do I carve out time to spend with God alone? No…
Do I spend money in such a way that shows God’s will is a priority in my life? No…
Do I use every talent I have to accomplish what God has called me to do?
Conclusion: I have a lot of work to do in make my relationship with God the priority that I say it is. What about you?
