Time well Spent

1 Samuel 12:24 "Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you" 

It's Freedom Friday and this has been the longest "short" work week ever!!! Let's be thankful for all the things that God has freed us from this week, this month (so far), this year, and this lifetime. God didn't free us from this world of captivity for us to do what we please, when we please, and how we please. He freed us to live freely in Him but still by His laws (which benefit us more than we like to acknowledge). We have to make it a priority to spend time with Him because time spent with God is time well spent.  As our calendars become filled with tasks and events from sun up to sun down each let's not forget about God because He certainly doesn't forget about us.

Things may not always be perfect in your life, but He still requires your time. Also, that time may be the time you need to find peace in the midst of your situation. There's a saying "When things seem to be falling apart, they are actually falling into place" before Monday I believed that statement to be true, but I now have a change of heart. Perhaps things are falling apart because we have fallen astray from God. We follow the motions of being a dedicated Christian by going to church events, Bible study, Sunday school, and Sunday Worship while in the same token we aren't spending personal time with God. Imagine having a spouse who only acknowledged you in public, but ignored you in private when it matters most.

My perspective on the aforementioned saying changed after seeing the movie War Room in that it really spoke to my spirit. Sometimes God will allow things to fall apart in order for us to realize that we need Him. So if you're free this weekend I highly suggest seeing this movie and I won't elaborate on my take away points in an effort not to spoil it for you all. It will definitely be time well spent.
