I will not enter my house

     or get into my bed,

I will not give sleep to my eyes

     or slumber to my eyelids,

until I find a place for the LORD,

a dwelling place for

             the Mighty One of Jacob.

                Psalm 132. 3-5

(Spending time with the LORD

    is not "just one more thing

        I don't have time for."

But time with Him orders my loves

    and reorders my urgencies.

We are too busy not to.

Even in what appears the same,

  we see the day differently

  because we walk with Him.

The adversary always shouts,

          "Doesn't matter.

           You don't have time for that."

But God whispers, "Come to Me.

              Walk with Me.

     It matters a lot.  Much more.

     Not just for today

                  but forever.

     Not just for you

            but for everyone around you.")

O LORD,

Make me mindful of those things

    that casually slip in

    and take Your rightful place.

Help me to not be distracted

   by what cries out Important!!!

                  but is not.

Reveal to us

   pockets of time each day

   to spend with You.

You go before us.

You walk with us.

You change our hearts.
