TAKE TIME FOR GOD
So many times we get so caught up in our
lives that we forget just who it is that has given us
everything we need to be thankful for. In her book “One
Minute Praises” by Darlene McCarty, she states “Be careful
when everything seems to be spiraling upward as if nothing
could go wrong. Remember from where you came. Let’s not
forget who gave you breath and the strength to work. Satan
will temp you with a small voice saying, “Who do you need
God right now? Look where you have come from and how hard
you have worked to get where you are. You deserve a day at
the lake with the family. I know it’s Sunday, but he’ll
understand this once. Before long, you find yourself only
going to church on Easter, Mother’s Day and Christmas. What
happened? Pride set in. You thought you were able to
control everything around you and that your success was
within your own power to dictate. But one day, unexpectedly
your world falls apart.” Don’t forget to take time out each
week, especially during Lent, to spend with God in prayer.
Take time to be a part of his church, do things for your
community, give back for all the blessings you have been
given. In the end, it will be the church and your church
family that will always be there for you, in good times and
in bad. |
