Quote.

"On a normal day, I pray for an hour in the morning. On a busy day when I know I am going to need the Lord, I pray for 2 hours."
- Martin Luther

This quote has so much depth, and so much truth. I've made the excuse a thousand times: "I don't have time to read my Bible... I don't have time to pray..." In all honesty, everything else should come second. Martin Luther had it right - in the 1500s. Here I am sitting 500 years in the future, on a computer... in an air-conditioned house... with running water... food in the refrigerator... We have all of these "time saving" inventions these days; but we often still fail to take time out for God. Not even a minute. I know there's not a single person in the world that cannot spare minute... even ten minutes out of their day. Maybe it's because so many people have these messed up views of what time with God really is...

They feel obligated. It's viewed as a chore. No. I think praying and reading your Bible is something that needs to be desired. Maybe you don't have a desire to read your Bible; but do you have a desire to get closer to God? If you don't have a desire to pray... how are you going to talk with Him, and develop a true, meaningful relationship with the King?

Psalm 37:4

Yeah... it should sound familiar.
