A few weeks ago, a commercial came across the TV that stood out to me. This commercial was advertising some exercise equipment. It implied the number one reason people do not exercise is because of time. In my opinion, time is the most valuable asset anyone can have. Time can be difficult to manage. While time can be difficult to manage it is not impossible to do so. We have the ability to create time for things that are important in our lives.

Have we ever created time to draw closer to God? Do we create time to go to God in prayer daily? Have we ever created time in our busy schedules to read the Bible daily? We are told to make good use of our time. Ephesians 5:15-17 says, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

What is holding us back from drawing closer to God? What are we doing to make it part of our daily schedule? We need to create the time. Once we create the time it is up to us to put in the effort. All though there are more potential distractions than ever before let us be sure it is not distracting us from our relationship with God.
