Over the last several weeks I have been doing the workout program T25 with a friend of mine. \u00a0We get together each morning, plug in the T25 DVD for the day and work hard. \u00a0Shawn T, who leads the workout, says each morning, give me the best 25 minutes of your day, because this is the most important 25 minutes you will spend each day.<\/p>\n

Now, I love to work out, I don\u2019t have many hobbies so I would say fitness ranks as a hobby for me. \u00a0But, as much as I love working out, I love how it makes me feel, I love the pain that comes along with it, because I know it is working, it is not the most important 25 minutes of my day. \u00a0The most important 25 minutes of my day is my time with God.<\/p>\n

As much as I want to stay in shape physically, I rather be in better spiritual health. \u00a0The time I spend alone with God trumps everything else. \u00a0There is nothing more fulfilling, nothing more energizing, nothing that can create the peace that comes from spending time with Him. \u00a0I want to know Him better, I want Him to transform me, I want Him to guide me and I don\u2019t want to miss what He has to say.<\/p>\n

But please don\u2019t get me wrong, I have days where life gets busy and the first thing that is dismissed from my schedule is my quiet time with God. \u00a0Why? \u00a0When I know it is the source of everything I need for each day. \u00a0And then I wonder why I can\u2019t figure out what the right decision is, or why I lose my patience so quickly, or why I can\u2019t seem to get focused.<\/p>\n

I am learning, I am a work in progress, I am so thankful His mercies are made new everyday. \u00a0I am so thankful He meets me where I am. \u00a0I am so thankful He will never leave me or forsake me. \u00a0I am so thankful He is El Roi – the God who sees me, El Shaddai – the All Sufficient One, Jehovah-Jireh, my Provider, Jehovah-Raah, my Shepherd.<\/p>\n
