I recently was walking in the hallway of a hotel and saw a sign that read:
If it is
Important to you,
You will
Find a way.
If not, you will find
An Excuse
That sign so struck me! How many times have we claimed that we do not have time for a certain task? Am I really just saying that the certain task is not important to me? When we begin to look through the lens of importance, where does that place the things of God? Importance = time. The popular saying is “Time = money”. It is true that if you look at your calendar and your bank register, you will find the things held dearest to your heart! Allow me then to ask a few questions.
Do you have time to pray?
Do you have time to read God’s Word?
Do you have time to attend church?
Allow me to phrase the same question from a different perspective:
Is prayer important to you?
Is God’s Word important to you?
Is attending church important to you?
Let’s ask God to help us place our time and importance on what really matters. It will only take a minute!
