JUNE 13 DEVOTIONAL BIBLE READING: 1 CHRONICLES 16:7-36

All too often we have learned to give things to the ones we love in place of just spending time with them. The most valuable thing we have to give to one another are not things, but rather time. The reason time is so valuable is that once used we can never get it back. I know I have said many times, "I wish I had more time...or I wish I had spent more time with them." Once everything is done and we come to the end of our walk, it won't be things that are important to us and it won't be things that we will regret leaving...it will be people and the time we could have had together that we will look back on with regret.

Larnelle Harris sang a song called "I Miss My Time With You." It is a message from the Lord to His busy children, who are so busy doing that they don't spend any time with Him. It seems that just like with people, we have learned to replace our time with God, with doing for Him. When what He really wants is for us to have a personal intimate relationship with Him...and that takes spending time with Him. David understood this and expresses this in today’s reading. Let us spend time without God, expressing our hearts to Him.
