I think this topic is so important! Sometimes we let life and situations drift us from having a relationship with God. The things in life that we do are so important, I can’t deny that. A lot of us have families to take care of, jobs to work, ministry, personal goals, etc. But the thing that we don’t realize is that without God we wouldn’t have even gotten there in the first place. We ask and ask God for all these blessings, he gives it to us and then we completely forget about him. What we don’t comprehend is that God never intends or intended for us to allow the blessings he’s given us to be our god. If it took having God in our lives to get there, what makes us think that we can continue without him. If he’s the way we even got to be successful in it, what makes us think we can continue without him. We need to keep in constant communication with God. We need to be constantly feeding our spiritual lives. We need to be setting aside time for simply being in Gods presence. We need to make room to simply hear Gods voice. Without asking, without doing anything… simply remaining still…. I say this because yes in life we all have so much to do. But God wants us to have a balanced life. We give and give time to other people. We put in time to bring people to God, forgetting that we also need to bring ourselves to God. Not only do people need God, but we ourselves need God…

In Luke 9:25 it’s clear, “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?”.

We ourselves need the savior… it’s great that we want to help people but if we ourselves aren’t being refined as well, what does it matter! We need to fill ourselves with God. We need to read the word more. We also need to surrender our lives to God. We need saving… through Jesus Christ. Let’s not let life consume us and let’s not forget that without God we are nothing!
