A Few More Minutes of Messy

by Lisa Manning on May 28, 2013

Lisa God TimeThis morning as I was spending time with God, I started getting distracted.  While I was thoroughly enjoying the time, I started thinking about all I needed to get accomplished.  Last week was an extremely busy week and I felt like God called our family to take a day of rest yesterday. despite the fact that my house is atrocious (and I don’t say that lightly!).  With the mess around me and the task list looming, I was feeling guilty about sitting in the chair.  God had a message for me though:

“You are in a good place.  You are where I called you to be.  The housework will be there later.  I am calling you to renew your mind which takes time with Me.  The time we spend will benefit others around you more than a clean house can.  Your children and your husband will see the benefits.  Your family and friends will see the benefits.  Those people who are affected by what I have called you to do will see the benefits.  Sit a little longer with me.  I am enjoying your company.”

As I was finishing, I turned on my iPod to worship.  The first song was by Kari Jobe and Gateway Worship: The More I Seek You

Lyrics to The More I Seek You :
The more i seek you, the more i find you.
The more i find you, the more I love you
I wanna sit at your feet drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, hear your heart beat.
This love is so deep, it’s more than I can stand. I melt in your peace, it’s overwhelming
The more i seek you, the more i find you.
The more i find you, the more I love you

Here is a link to this amazing song:  The More I Seek You Video

If you haven’t spent time with God today, plan to do it as soon as you can.  Then, take a few extra minutes.  He is enjoying your company!
