Luke 5:16 says, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”
Time is precious. I never seem to have enough of it so with Labor day a few days away and I get an extra day off, there is a lot of stuff I want to do. I want to sleep late, go fishing, hang out with Jen and Jake, work in the yard (well maybe I don’t want to do this but I need to), grill out hamburgers, catch up on my computer stuff, ride bikes with Jake, etc… I love long weekends because they give me a chance to do some of this stuff. But I can’t think of a time when a long weekend was coming up and I thought to myself, ‘Great, a day off, I get to spend more time with Jesus.’ Why not? Why don’t I think this way? Shouldn’t I? I tell God during the week, sorry Lord, I just didn’t have enough time today to talk with You, to read Your Word, to tell others about You. So when I get that extra day off I know I should spend more time with Jesus, but I DON'T. What is my excuse? Why don't I?
Psalm 14:2
The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
Spending time with God is not something that we should have to find time for. It should be something that is always part of our lives.
So, how are you going to spend your long weekend?
