In our busier-than-ever-yet-I-invite-you-to-play-FarmVille-and-Candy-Crush-with-me culture, I often hear Christians in their 20s and 30s say, “I just don’t have time” when it comes to taking advantage of golden opportunities to accelerate their spiritual growth.
When I was in my 20s and 30s, I was as busy as any other mortal being a university student, having a full-time job, family, and all that each demands.
Yet I found time to listen to audio messages from the few people who were changing my life back then.
I found time to read the books by the few authors who were making a revolutionary impact on my heart and mind.
I found time to read the Scriptures and study church history (not every day, mind you).
I found time to fellowship with the Lord throughout the day.
I found time to read the one newsletter I subscribed to every month.
And I found time to connect with other believers who wanted more of the Lord.
Point: I don’t care how busy you are (or think you are), you can always find time to sharpen the blade of your spiritual life.
The real question is: how important is it to you?
