How To Make Up For A Missed Quiet Time
So, you have rushed out of the house without praying, talking to God, nor reading your Bible, huh? Well, it ain't over yet until it's over. Here is a list of 7, sort of a "make-up devotion".
1. While on the bus (not driving), silently pray. You don't have to shout, your neighbor doesn't even have to know you are praying, just talk to your Father.
2. On the walkway, sing a few choruses, or better yet, plug in your earphone and get in the Spiritual flow. Emphasis on "walkway", not highway.....
3. At your breaks, you can update your Bible reading schedule. Thankfully, you have a Bible on your mobile device, so don't just eat, read you Bible too.
4. Try as much not to spend any free period of yours doing irrelevant things, say gossiping, surfing the web, or gisting with your colleague. It's already bad enough that you left home without talking to your Heavenly Father, don't make it worse!
5. If you are the type that goes about with prayer request lists, you could occasionally check them out and graciously pray.
6. Towards your closing time, although you might have been drained, it still ain't over yet. So, when about to close from work, school, anywhere at all, just in one sentence thank Him for the Grace that has kept you. See it this way, despite the fact that you didn't initially commit that day into His hands, He has still kept you, so sweetie, show some gratitude to God.
7. And finally, you are back to where you started from, your house I mean (obviously untidy). Clean up (Cleanliness is next to godliness-), tidy, cook if you have to, relax, and then, have your quiet time out with God properly. Though you might sleep off with your Bible faced down on your chest, still go ahead with having your quiet time, because God wants to talk with you. Gracias.
Shalom
