Salt & Light Link Up #14

As a wife, stay at home mom, full time blogger, participant in ministry, and amongst many other things, I can sometimes rush God to hurry up and give me His time.

This is by no means my intention. If I could, I would probably spend hours with Him everyday but most of my intimate times with Him comes in the middle of the night or very early in the mornings. Which by mid morning all I want to do is just go back to bed. So, if I was to be completely honest with you…. some nights when I wake up with the urge to spend time with God, I mumble; “But God, I got so much to do tomorrow. I need more sleep to accomplish it all.”

Not good, right? No, it is not.

Depending on my motivation, I will generally get up and spend my time with Him, as He has requested, but there has been days I have stubbornly went back to sleep and decide on just rushing Him in the morning through my reading.

But rushing your time with God does not give you intimacy with Him. It does give you time with the Holy Spirit and it will definitely not give you more understanding to His will.

Reading Kelly’s post this week truly made me feel like I was not alone in this area, which is what we all need to know sometimes. But most importantly her post spoke volumes to me because she writes about the importance of keeping in tune with God daily. By staying in tune with God, we will find balance.

When we stay in our word and choose not to rush it just because we feel like we got too much to do, God will peacefully keep us going. He will prove there is balance in Him.

Here is Kelly’s post featuring on Salt & Light Link Up….

The Holy Spirit will teach us lessons about walking in balance in any season of life. My story takes us to the days when my baby was a young infant. Her soft cries nudged me from a deep slumber. I checked the time, then started my own whining:

5:30. How could this time of day be considered morning? It’s pitch dark outside; maybe she’ll fall back to sleep.

Her continued fussiness poked holes in the hope that I could get more shut-eye. I was so exhausted that it took about 15 minutes to drag my weary form from the paradise of my comfortable, warm bed. I got her back to sleep about 6 o’clock and stumbled back into bed.

When my alarms were calling, and my “three-foot tall alarm” was up for the day, I was still snuggled under the covers. I mumbled a request for my husband to take the kid to the potty for me. Next thing I knew, it was two-and-a-half hours later; he had given me the rare gift of letting me sleep in late. It was an answer to prayer for my fatigued body.

The usual business of the morning tasks took on a higher speed as I tried to play catch up. I was rushing through my Daily Time with God, trying to block out the ticking of the clock and looming deadlines. After reading a few verses, I wondered if I could just move on to my “to do list.”
