And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed Mark 1:35
You know I oftentimes hear some believers believe it or not say they want to spend time with God but find it difficult because of the children. I had a past work colleague is in the Lord stated that there was not enough time to do anything outside of her worship day because when she woke up in the morning she had to get ready breakfast for her husband and her children then she had to get the children ready for school then drop them to school and off to work again, collect the children in the evening then cook the dinner and get the children ready for bed by time it was all finish she was too tired to spend time with God.
I sympathised with this young lady and the predicament she is in but this has really made me think what would our lives be like if God felt He had too much to do and felt too tired to spend time with us, wow I dare not imagine the chaos, the pain, the torment and more that would follow and descend upon us should this ever happen.
You know I look at the verse above and note that Jesus who is our example and who knew without a shadow of doubt that His Father, God was with him and in him still ensure that he found a time and a place to be alone with God, so if He is our example believers are we not suppose to ensure we make the time to follow suit. Think about it each day has been given to us and if there are so many of us in the world and God walks with each of us every second of ever day can we not make the sacrifice to be alone with him for just five minutes. Come now what is five minutes compare to 24 hours.
