Daily Devotions

I’m 29 this year. I have a cute son and a wonderful hubby. I have a great job and loving it, but being ambitious I still want to do more. I have wonderful friends and have been up to a great deal of activities lately that I may not have done in the past.

My latest was tandem bungee jumping in Phuket. My last trip there I did not quite make it to doing it. But this time, hubby and me went for it.
Looking at my life overall, I must say I’m quite pleased. And here comes the big BUT, I have not been working on improving my spiritual life at all. I must say I have not given back to God much after all He has blessed me with. I miss my daily devotional times a lot, I feel like I’ve taken 10 steps backward from where I was and I don’t quite think I’ve put God in the centre of my entire life and totally surrendered everything I have to Him. So with all the achievements, it doesn’t really matter if I don’t have God in the centre of it all. I need to reprioritise God as number ‘One’ so that the rest follows after that.

My church is currently doing a discipleship campaign course and today I read an article called ‘My Heart Christ’s Home’ by Robert Boyd Munger. It’s written in such a way, that it depicts all the rooms in our life and how we treat God. If God was a real person, like our spouse, child or friend, would we be able to see God waiting for us everyday to do devotional time, as we just skip off with more important earthly things to do? Yet everyday God waits for us but we continue to do our own thing. If that happened to our spouse, we might feel guilty about it quite quickly or our spouse may highlight this to us immediately. But how does God get our attention if we miss out tuning to Him?

Therefore, new discipline regime for me in the spiritual area, spend at least ½ an hour with God each day and don’t skip it no matter what! I hope this works; I’m starting small and trying not to be too ambitious. And by blogging about it, I’m hoping that this will help me to make sure I do it, so help me God!
