Jesus knows when we have strayed even a little from His dear heart-even when we do not realize it. When the busyness of life has taken priority, and we have left Him, often sitting in the prayer closet waiting….

 

What a sad picture to my heart.

 

The brushing off of His sweet whisper to come for instructions, fellowship, friendship, and wisdom is so very unwise.

 

We can make all manner of excuses for it, but the truth is that we do what we want to do. We make time for what we want to make time for. We sacrifice for what we desire to sacrifice for.

 

Thus, we’ve rendered ourselves guilty all by ourselves.

 

There is an empty void that begins to grow when we continue to step further away from the life with Christ. He was never a one-day-a-week God, but a God fully engaged 24/7.

 

If you’re feeling a bit lost today, perhaps the proper map will lead you back to time with Him. Set your GPS and batten down the hatches against all other distractions.

 

It’s a “first things first” kind of life with Jesus.

 

Maybe we need to relook at what, exactly; we have placed in “first.”
