Too Busy

Have you had a busy day today? Or indeed a busy day any day this week?

Think about that busy day, did you find time to talk with God, to have some quality personal time with Him?

If I'm honest with you my own answer to that question is no I didn't make time to speak to God! I'm sure many of you will have given the same answer as me, so don't worry you're not alone. Personally I found myself concentrating so much on me as I wasn't feeling too good from the moment I woke up this morning, so I struggled through the rest of day myself without going to God for help and strength. If only I'd taken it all to God in prayer, what a different day I might have had!

Anyway, back to your busy day...
At any point during your day did you phone, text or email a friend? Or did you Tweet?

My guess would be that like me, despite having a busy day, you did find time to do one of these things. Am I right? C'mon be truthful!

So we've found time to do other things that were not essential to our day, but not time to talk to God. That is not right is it?!

I pray today that in the future as we face busy and difficult days in our life, we might take time out, even if just a few minutes, to talk to God and leave our day in His hands. If we do this, God will be there with us during our day and will help make our day that little bit easier to get through.

Slow Down Time by Jeremy Camp

Staring at this empty canvas,
Waiting for the next stroke of my life.
It seems to go by so fast.
Another day I've wasted wondering,
How it all ends up instead of resting,
That it's all in Your hands.
My only piece is waiting before You.
My praise to You,
Drowning noise around me.

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.
I know I should take it all in stride.
I know you are there with every reach.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.

On my own I always fade out fast,
On the run my every step will last.
I'm resting in your words that never fail.
Your searching every part of me.
I need to stop so I could hear You speak.
I long for you so here I am so thirsty.
My only piece is waiting before You.
My praise to You,
Drowning the noise around me.

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.
I know I should take it all in stride.
I know you are there with every reach.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.

It's where I wanna be,
The greatness of your presence always leaving me here speechless.
I've given up on making this life my home.
In the fullness of your glory is beyond my comprehension.
There's no greater joy then being with you my King.

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.
I know I should take it all in stride.
I know you are there with every reach.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.
