Time Well Spent

Sitting with my computer open and my Bible next to me, I struggle to hear God speak.  Then it hits me, I have the wrong thing open.  "Open your Bible and close your computer." Right.  Done.  That's a good lesson all around.  I spend so much time on devices of some kind.  I am sucked in by the pictures, postings, phrases, videos, and clever memes.  I waste so much time on media, and yet, I can't seem to find time to spend with my maker.  It is quite convicting. I read through Ezekiel chapter 7 and it's a bit convicting as well, however one phrase completes point after point, "Then you will know that I am the Lord."  God has so many ways that He shows Himself to us, but we so often miss Him.  We don't spend enough time with Him to recognize Him when He shows up.  In addition, we are distracted by all of the other things we make time to do such as kids, jobs, sports, games, workouts, music, friends, _________. (You fill in the blank.)  Time is such a valuable commodity. We all have the same amount, yet how differently we each spend it.  My challenge, spend a little quiet time with God each day.  Media is a life sucker. Spend time with the Giver of Life.
