I Don't Have Time For Devotions

"I need to get this done", "I need to get to work", "I need to..."

All comments that I have said to myself. All thoughts that I have allowed to roll around in my head. What arrogance! What a statement of self-sufficiency. Do you know what I really need? I need to sit at my Fathers feet. I need to drink of his goodness. I need to feed myself on his word, to meditate on his promises, to remind myself of the primacy of the gospel in my life.

I need help. I need to remember. I need to be a servant. I need to get before I can give. I need to receive orders before I can march.

I have needs, and they can only be met by waiting on God:

For God alone my soul waits in silence,
from him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress, I will not be greatly shaken.
Psalm 62:1-2
