"And they spent all of their time in the Temple, praising God." - Luke 24:53 NLT


And we only spend 13% of our time with God...if that.


Why is it that we put so many other things before God?  He is the first thing we cut out when our lives start to get busy.  But He is what we need the most.


All of us can't go to church all day long and just pray and worship, but we can talk to God throughout the day.


"...pray continually..." - 1 Thessalonians 5:17


Often times, I forget to pray during the day.  I get too caught up in my activities (school, work...) that I forget to talk to the One who created me and loves me more then I could ever imagine.


God wants all of us, our whole hearts.  He may call some of us to become nuns or monks and literally spend 'all [our] time in the Temple praising God.'  But not everyone is called to that kind of life.  


But we can spend all our time with God.  We can spend specific amounts of time studying the Bible, we can pray throughout the day, we can reflect, we can serve, we can repeat memorized verses, we can thanks God for His beautiful creation, we can be Jesus to those around us, we can dedicate whatever we do to God, the list goes on and on.


In the car is the perfect time to God.  Alone and stuck with nothing to do for minutes on end, this is a great opportunity to talk to God.  I've had some great conversations with God when I was driving.  So turn off the music and talk to God.  Or listen and let Him talk to you.
