Well friends, I'm back from the youth retreat I was at and we had a great time! The kids were awesome, the Bible lessons that our pastor was teaching were awesome and we had a really fun time. But I'm not going to talk about that right now.
The last few weeks have been really busy. Lots of traveling, lots of people to catch up with and tons of work to try to catch up on. (Still not there yet.) And in all that business one of the easiest things to skip is daily devotions. You probably know what I'm talking about, life gets crazy and taking some quiet time with just you and God is one of the first things to get set aside so you can focus on things like sleep, time with friends, maybe a movie or a book to wind down at night. Trust me I get it but let me explain why this is a bad idea.
You know how when troubles come your way and you wonder where God is? But then there are other times when things get tough and you feel like He's right next to you? What's the difference?
Maybe not 100% of the time but very often I can see in my own life that when I'm taking time each day to spend with God I remember to rest in His presence when troubles come and trust me friends, it makes dealing with those troubles a million times easier.
So when life gets busy don't let it take away your time with God, that is the most important daily task you have.
