The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.—Psalm 37:5 NIV
Sometimes distractions pull us away from our time with God. Your best intentions for devotion can be detoured by a pressing need. Instead of getting upset, squeeze in time whenever you can. Commit your way to the Lord and trust that interruptions are part of His plan.
Heavenly Father, if a distraction needs my attention, be with me along the way and guide me back to You.
