God values how we SPEND our time with him over how MUCH time we spend with him. It can be so easy to forget important things like this amidst busy schedules or even amidst struggles. I know when I feel weak or feel drained of energy I sometimes (as bad as it seems to say) don’t want to do my devotions.
Time, time, and time, our lives revolve around time. When it comes to our devotions we think time. It is hard for our brains when we think that time doesn’t matter or even times we rush to finish things...including our time with God. I do this, and sometimes I definitely forget, but there will always be something we need to work on...after all we are NOT perfect, not even close, so growing and challenging experiences will come. So spending time with him is getting more and more crucial especially when you take a look at the world around us. Crazy things our happening.
But God is our peace, our place of refuge, and our strength. HE is where we place our trust, HE is where we place our hope, and HE is everything we need.
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalm 62:5 “Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.”
Psalm 91:1 “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
