Time, Time, Time

All of us ask for more time. If I only had more time I would do this, or if I only had another hour I would do that. The truth is we would just fill that time with more stuff and ask or want more of it. I would love to have the time to do all of the things that I want- and actually I do. You see when we make decisions with the time we have we do end up doing the things we want to do otherwise we would make different decisions. We say with our lips that we want to do other things but I have found that actually or decisions are far more indicative of our desires than our lips.

With my lips (or keyboard) I tell those of you following this blog that I want to be better at it. Unfortunately with my actions I end up spending the time I would normally use for the blog to study, spend time with the family or just decompress from the wonders of my day as a financial planner and manager of other planners.

I ask in this thought that you consider what your actions state about how you really feel and how really dedicated you are to following God. Do you say with your lips that you want to follow Him or are your actions indicative of a deep and meaningful relationship with Him. Do you consider as you make your decisions of the impact it has on your relationship with God? Do you consider that the longer you go without talking to Him the farther you move away? Do you consider that even though nothing can seperate us from the love of God (Rom 8) we are the ones who always end the relationship?

I can honestly tell you that I have not considered the feelings of those who read this blog as I infrequently post. I can tell you however God considers what you choose to fill your time with when you could spend it with Him.
