Hi YZers, came across this article on spending time with God. Do take some time to read...
In his most recent Friday Evening newsletter, Tom Barnard wrote: "Author Fay Angus tells the story of attending a weekend retreat at a Christian conference center in Southern California. At the registration desk, she was given a small, glass container wrapped in decorative paper. She was told to unwrap the package and read the directions taped to the item. When she opened it, she discovered it was a small baby-food jar containing a walnut surrounded and filled to the brim with grains of rice. The directions read as follows:
The walnut in this jar represents the time we spend with God. The rice represents the time we spend doing other things. If you pour the rice into the empty jar first, then try to insert the walnut, it will not fit. The rice takes up too much space. If you put the walnut into the empty jar first, then pour the rice around it, there is sufficient room for everything. Likewise, if we spend time doing other things first, we never will find time to spend with God. If we spend time with God first, there always will be time for everything else.
Jesus was quite clear on the subject of walnuts and jars. He said, "Set your mind on God's kingdom and his justice before everything else, and all the rest will come to you as well" (Matt. 6:33, NEB).
