Make
some time to get to know God each day.
The story of
Mary and Martha in the Bible is always a good reminder to me. Martha
was busy serving Jesus, while Mary was sitting at his feet learning
from Him. Too often I get so busy doing good things for God
that I neglect to spend time with Him. And Jesus said we must
abide in Him to be able to bring forth fruit.
When I was a
single girl, I was able to have time first thing in the morning or in
my room at night to read the Bible and pray. When I got married and
then started having children, having a quiet time was not so easy!
Nearly impossible---so many interruptions! I had to learn new ways
and how to make the most of just a few minutes. So the way you
do it is not so important.
I
find it helpful to find a verse in the morning to think about during
the day. Because it's very easy to read in the morning and then
forget about it for the rest of the day (which is not much help)!
