There is this little lie that we believe about our time that actually makes us less productive. Don't we, as moms, need as much time as we can possibly get? We hold out our hands and time seems to slip through our fingers like sand. The minutes and hours and days fly by as if they are in a rush to get away.
We need every second to count. We pour our lives into serving our children and our husbands and we need every moment that we can grab on to .
The lie we believe is this: Spending time with God takes up our time and is just another thing we need to do.
We add God to our to do list and hope that we will get to it because we know we really should. Then we don't get to it and we beat ourselves up.
But we don't get to it because we believe that we don't have the time. We believe a lie.
You see, seeking God first is the key to having time...for anything. Seek first the kingdom of God and all of these things {your needs} will be added to you {Matthew 6:33}.
When you put God first, and spend time with Him, not only does He fill you up with what you need to make it through the day but He blesses your time.
When I give God the first part, the best part, of my time, He takes all the rest of my time and multiplies it. I find that I am so much more productive and able to focus on the best things when I trust God with my time.
We often don't spend time with God because we are afraid that everything won't get done. I'd like to challenge you to lay that fear before Him and trust Him with your time. I think you'll be amazed, as I have been, at how good He is when He gets first place in our hearts and we believe the truth over the lie.
Question for you: What does how you use your time say about what you believe?
