This morning I am challenging the assumption that I am too busy for God. I feel like I do a really good job prioritizing working out for my health, making time to get together with friends, even dating my husband.
So am I really too busy to take time to study God's word, or is that just a lie Satan hopes I'll believe?
Especially since this morning I spent a good 15-20 minutes reading random news feed articles....That's definitely time that would be better spent in God's company, getting to know Him. So today's list of things I need to get done, looks like this, after prioritizing God.
1. Godly devotion- scripture study and prayer
2. Quick workout
3. CS 1440 Assignment
4. CS 2420 Assignment
Here are my notes from my devotion this morning:
- As a parent, I have the opportunity to bless my children.
- God wants to be merciful to us and to our posterity. They are His children.
- "For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children." I want to delight in the scriptures. I have times when I find great joy in the scriptures, but too often scripture study is an item to check off a list of other (maybe even viewed as more important) things to do.
- Even Nephi had a hard time not yielding to the temptations of the flesh. Our bodies, our mortal condition make sin and mistakes a part of life- that is the plan.
- Don't trust in man- trust in God!
