How long you book God?

* Luís Alberto Alves

Think carefully before you answer: how long you reserve for God in their daily lives? Five minutes, a half hour, an hour or more. Or remember Him when the callus on the foot hurts. The man is funny. In good times never think of Jesus Christ. His eyes are the navel.

In churches I realize this harmful behavior. As a pastor I know well the behavior of sheep. Few surrender of truth, assuming serious commitment to the Lord. Show interest in learning the Gospel, to become warriors of this wonderful army.

People, rich or poor, famous or anonymous, they seek excuses for anything but to explain the estrangement from God. They claim lack of time. As? To talk with our Father? In a candid conversation you can see that they love the Lord just to solve their problems.

So do not find time to talk with God through prayer. They prefer to spend hours on end in social networks or even wasting precious hours in gossip. Less talk to God and tell Him how much is your precious friendship. When you're well off, God, in the view of these people, is negligible.
