Do you find it hard to spend time with God? I know it’s
hard, but if you really want to do something you can almost always make time
for it. It is the same with spending time with God, if you really want to make
time for God there’s always time. There is no excuse because there is always
time for God even if sometimes we think we don’t. God is there twenty four
seven for us, no matter what time of day it is he's always there for us.
I have to admit I haven’t always spent time with God, like a
few years ago I didn’t spend time reading the bible very much maybe two of
three times a week. Even then I didn’t spend that long reading my bible or
sometimes I would just read a good Christian book, sure I was getting some
Christian input thought that but I wasn’t spending Quality time with God.
Jesus answered, “It
is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 (NIV)
Jesus is saying that we need to read God's word. Man shall
not live on bread alone. This means that we can’t live on just physical food,
we need the spiritually food too that comes from reading Gods word.
All Scripture is
breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction,
and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent,
equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy
3:16-17 (NIV)
All Scripture is breathed out by God, this means that God is
the author of the Bible. The Bible was
not actually wrote by God but, the people who wrote the Bible were being used
as God tools to write it. Profitable Means beneficial or useful, so the Bible
is useful to us without it our Christian walk would be a lot harder without it.
Teaching is something we all need, When we go to church the preacher preaches
God word to us, our youth leader explains it to us. We don’t to just need to
read God’s word we need good teaching too. Reproof and correction are almost
the same thing. With the reproof we see that where we are wrong, while with the
correction we know what the right thing to do. And for training in righteousness,
What does this mean? For us to get to heaven we need to be righteousness in God
slight, we can’t get to Heaven by good work but thought God sending his son
Jesus to die for us and being saved. That the man of God be competent, equipped
for every good work. Competent means having the necessary ability, knowledge,
or skill to do something successfully.
As Christians we want to be like that, to have the skill to do God's
work, It only comes thought reading God’s world daily.
Spending time with God should not be like this, At 7 o’clock
pm exactly I will set my stop watch for exactly twenty minutes as soon as it is
up I will shut my Bible closed and jump up and shout I’m done for today. Doing
it like that is really not spending time with God, It does not matter what time
of day or the time God is waiting for us to spend time with me reading his
word. Have you spent time with God today?
Your word is a lamp
for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105
