Got 10 Minutes

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
You probably like things to be organized. You make lists of what you plan to get done and check things off when you’re finished. You set your intentions to help you meet your goals.
The fact is, God likes it when you put things in order, and He likes it best when you make Him the first order of business for your day.
Why? Because He loves you and since He knows already what you want to accomplish, He is prepared to help you set things in motion. God wants you to seek His advice, His direction and His blessing every day.
Imagine you have the opportunity to talk with the Creator of the whole universe, the One who knows you better than you will ever know yourself, and you can ask Him anything you want.
All you have to do is show up, take 10 minutes to share your heart and mind and seek His counsel. You don’t even have to make an appointment ahead of time because He’s already there, waiting for you to arrive.
Just seek Him first and He will take it from there.
Prayer
Lord, I pray You will help me to seek Your face for 10 minutes each morning. Help me to listen for Your voice so I can learn more about what it means to walk with You each day. Amen.
Action Step
Begin a journal and write one sentence each time you meet with God for 10 minutes. See what you learn about yourself or your situation this month.
