The busier we are in life the busier we need to get in spending time with God.How can that be? If we are busy in life then we can't be busy with God too, something has to give. Not so. The need to spend time with God increases exponentially in relation to the busyness of our lives.
A great poem by Adrian Plass, entitled 'When I Became A Christian', contains the lines;
He said, Look, I’m not asking you to spend an hour with me,
A quick salvation sandwich and a cup of sanctity.
God desires to have our full attention, not the leftovers at the end of a busy day. Or, in the words of John Ortberg, "However much time you spend exercising and cleansing and dressing the outer you this week, spend at least that much time exercising and cleansing and dressing the inner you."
