As I was thinking about how I was going to plan my days so I could get that stuff done in time, I realized school isn't the only area I procrastinate in. What about devotions, or spending meaningful time with God? Do I only do it Saturday night so I could say I did devotions before the new week starts? Or do I wait until I "really" need God? haha. That last one sounds funny. Some people think of God as an acquaintance. You know, someone you keep up just enough of a relationship so it's not awkward if you need to ask them for help someday, but nothing too serious. Others think of Him like someone they should spend time with, but just never get around to actually doing it, kinda like my schoolwork.
But how many of us are aware of how much we truly need God? We need Him all the time. Every second. We need Him simply to exist. He is our literal source of life. Seems like He is around a lot more than an acquaintance, huh? Why do we ignore this? Why do we think that getting ten more minutes of sleep is more important than reading our Bible or talking with God? Why do we watch movies at home alone instead of spending time fellowshipping with our fellow believers? We act like someone who is sitting next to the Fountain of Youth, exercising, eating fruit and veggies, and otherwise living a healthy life, but never partaking of that life giving juice. How stupid are we?
