I realize that my life has been a little...well...nuts lately.
Jeff is in between jobs, we're searching for direction and the fast paced day to day craziness never seems to slow down, especially lately.
The other day I realized I was treating God like a toy. I would put Him back in the box when I was done talking or praying, and then continue on my day. I haven't been disciplined to stay in the Word. I talk to Him, but only when it's conveniant for me. Like a toy. When I want to talk to Him, I bring him out of the box. When I'm ready to listen, or read scripture, I take Him out of the box. When I get busy? Back in the box He goes.
Wow, what an insult to the Master of the Universe, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth!! I am so glad He doesn't put me in a box telling me He'll get to me when it's conveniant.
God doesn't belong in any box. We often say "Don't put God in a box" meaning don't limit what you think you know about God...He can do more than what we could ever imagine.
But adding to that familiar phrase, let's not put God in a box and neglect the most important relationship we could ever have. Let's not forget He desires an intimacy that can only be attainedy by acknowledging constantly that He is there beside us and sent His Holy Spirit to be within us.
And THE most important thing we could do EVERY day is talk to Him. Walk with Him as He walked in the gardens in the beginning with Adam. |
