Several months back I wrote a post on making time for God. I
want to come back it as I feel it’s is a really imported thing to do. How can
you grow spirally if you don’t spend time with God every day? There is no
better way to get to know God than reading his word. I have found not reading my bible in the pass
draws me away, it made me angry and more likely to hurt other people with my
words and my actions. Keeping close to God makes it easily to become more like
his son Jesus. As Christian goal should be to be like Jesus, I believe the more
we read our bibles the more we should take in the closer we should become to God.
If you feel after reading your bible for a long time and don’t ever fell close
to God, then maybe you should rethink the way you do it. If you are doing it
with a set time that you always have to it on that exactly time. You can it
anytime a day God does not take naps or just can’t be bothered to spend time
with you, it more the other way around I’ve had times when I hadn’t been bothered
to read my bible and pray. I always do now because I want a relationship with
God. I enjoy reading my bible now, it took
time to build up to everyday so don’t worry if the start with you can’t manage every
day. If you wait and try your best you’ll be able to do it every day. Spending
time with should not about being relish but wanting to get to know God better.
You don’t even have to decide how long you are going to read it for, it will
really dement on how much you want to read it. For me I just keep reading until
I feel like I’m going to fall asleep, as I read my bible before I go to bed. I’ve
heard the saying if you read your bible for 5 minutes a day you’re a ok Christian.
15 minutes and you’re doing pretty good, if you spend 30 minutes God you’re a super
Christian. Don’t base your bible reading on this, not everyone will have 30
minutes a day to spend with God. A good reaction of what you are learning should
come off in your daily life. If you’re a Christian and people can’t tell that
you are, you’re doing it wrong. Also don’t act like it’s some great sacrifice
to make time for God. God made the time so you act like you haven’t God enough
time for God, it makes it seem like the other things in your life is more
important. Spending time with God should
be less of an obligation and more of a privilege. God made everything so what a privilege to
spend time with him.
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Psalm 119:105
