When we have so much to do we are often reluctant to take time out of our day for Quiet Time with God. Yet, when we carve out time for God He gives it back to us somehow. I was a young working college student. I had my Quiet Time on my lunch hour. I found a private space in a tiny little room on the factory shop floor. I would go there to pray, read, and think, while eating my lunch. It wasn’t long until the department manager gave me a new job helping an engineer design a new clamping system. As a result I got an extra half-hour for lunch. That was a good lesson for me. When we take time for Quiet Time – God makes it up to us.
Martin Luther once said, “I have so much to do that I must pray three hours every morning.” Luther was not trying to guilt us into praying three hours a day. For most of us that is logistically impossible nor would we have the fortitude. The guidance is, we are not too busy to spend a little time with God every day. Time with God will enhance everything we do. As people of faith it is the best way to supersize our productivity! It’s a little mysterious but try it, it really works.
