Make Time with God a Priority
Adapted from Starting Your Day Right
Then Jesus, knowing that they meant to come and seize Him that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the hillside by Himself alone.
If the devil can’t convince you to be idle and passive, he will drive you to do too much. As soon as you are out of balance, he can devour you (1 Peter 5:8). The word disciple comes from the word discipline. To be a disciple of Jesus, you must discipline yourself to follow His ways.
Jesus spent a great deal of time going about doing good for people, but He balanced His time by getting alone to pray and commune with the Father. Time with God renews your strength to do good things that you want to do for others. Live a balanced life by spending time with Him.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me balance out my life by making time for You. Renew my strength through prayer so I can serve others with a joyful heart and disciplined focus. I pray this in the name of Jesus, amen.
