Time for Jesus
Suppose you walked into your kitchen one morning and found Jesus sitting at the table. What would you do? Would you say: "Jesus! I'm thrilled to see You! I just wish I had time to talk, but right now I'm running late for work. When I get home tonight, we'll have a nice visit"?
Later, you rush into the house from work to pick up your son for his Little League game and dash back out. But when you return from the game, the children need your attention, the laundry needs folding, and before you know it, you're just plain too tired to talk with Him. You crawl into bed and fall asleep.
Of course, you probably think if Jesus were to physically come to your house, you’d stop everything to sit with Him, right? Maybe you would. But maybe you wouldn't. But when you neglect to spend time with Christ in His Word and prayer, you give Him the impression that He's not important to you. Staying in daily communion with Jesus is the No. 1 priority of the Christian life. It's the key that opens every door to fruit-bearing, a blessing to this life and the next.
