I can't fit in a quiet time! God has given me too much to do today! Some days I feel that the ministry load God has placed on my back is so big, I don't have time for my morning prayer and Bible reading. Either I feel I need the extra sleep, or once I wake up, my mind and body are already racing into the day with all the things I have to fit in just to keep from getting swept away.

Now, I know in my head as much as anyone that I, especially being in ministry, should spend daily time with God developing and nurturing a love relationship. I'm aware that I don't have anything to give others if I'm not first filling up on His presence by taking time to listen to Him and let Him fill me with His divine inspiration and love. But do my daily choices show I believe that? Or do they show that sometimes I think I'm plenty capable or too busy doing God's work to stop and sit at His feet? Or that I think I'm doing fine by myself and don't really need His help? Or that I just don't believe that spending time with God is that vital in my life and ministry?
This week, God reminded me why I've been so spiritually empty, dried up, tired, and uninspired lately, rushing around to serve Him but not willing to sit with Him (thank you for the example, Martha).
