The Best Habit

I want to read more of the bible but I'm sitting here watching my third TV program. I want a better marriage but sometimes my husband can drive me crazy. I want to eat healthier but I'm craving that candy bar so bad. I want to have a better prayer life but I just don't have time. Nothing worth having in life comes easy. A great marriage takes work. Exercising and having better eating habits take work and the Christian life takes work. I want to apologize for my long posts. I understand this is social media. I understand that most times we are doing two things at once. Flipping through Facebook in the evening while watching TV or before we go to sleep at night. Too tired to read something long that someone posts. We are a generation of people that have technology at our fingertips, life is faster and we don't want to slow down. I think that too often we tend to be this way with our time with God. We don't take the time. We want God to be there for us when we cry and pray during hard times but we ignore him in our every day lives and think that if we spend a few minutes reading a long devotional like this one we have done our spiritual duty for the week. We make excuses. Ladies- we make the time for what we think is important in our lives. That might be 3 hours of TV at night, it might be exercising, it might be decorating your home, working on a craft or shopping till we drop. Whatever takes your time away from time you haven't spent with God that day is never worth it. I realize some of you truly are super busy and I'm not saying if you spend time with God your life will be easy but let me tell you ladies- when life gets hard and you know you've been talking to the King of Kings that very morning and that He is right there with you helping you through, it sure makes a world of difference. I don't know why I reach for that candy bar and eat it when I know deep down it is only a fleeting comfort and will make me feel worse in the morning just like I don't know why there are times I choose to shut off my alarm instead of getting up and spending time with my Savior. I know in my heart that when I do it trumps that extra half hour of sleep every time. Choose to make good habits in your life but don't leave out the best habit to start making- spending time with the Savior who loves you more than anything or anyone.
