These past weeks I have definitely gone off my spiritual track. I got so caught up with my business and finding clients that I just got busy and didn’t take my devotional time. I know I have written about this subject quite a lot, but I know this happens to a lot of people. They just slip into a pattern of busyness and forget to have quiet time, scripture reading, prayer time or just having a conversation with God. Even skipping church.
So I confess. And what happened when I stopped having my time with Him and getting consumed with “earthly” worries and concerns? I got sick. What a surprise – I say that with a great deal of sarcasm. My body, my spirit have been trying to get my attention, but I wasn’t listening. So my back starting hurting really bad, my joints sore as well, and an upset stomach. When I finally woke up, I immediately went to God is prayer and immersed myself in scripture and praise music. Started reading my spiritual books again. I am feeling better, but it was still a wake-up call.
Where are you putting your time and attention???
Dear Lord, forgive me for ignoring you for a time. You are my strength and my shield (Psalm 28:7). Help me to never forget that! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
