Time.

Built into most phones or computers is a calculation of how much screen time you use. There have been times when I’ve seen that number and have been shocked.

What would happen in that same scenario, if we had an app that would calculate how much time you spend with God? I imagine if we compared the two, we would be embarrassed to realize we’re spending way too much time on our devices than talking to God, our Creator.

Everyone could benefit with less time spent on social media, for sure. And, all of us would have much less stress by infusing God into our daily lives.

I love starting my day with God; reading the Bible and simply talking to Him about my concerns, giving Him the thanks for another day. It may sound strange to some of you, but I talk to God all throughout my day.

If you’re like me, you know technology, TV, and social media can quietly take time and attention away from what matters most, like time with God. Technology in itself is not the problem. The challenge is learning to want fewer distractions and more connection with God.

What about you? Start with a five minute talk with the Creator of the Universe. See what happens to the rest of your day.

Ephesians 5:15-16 - “ Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”
