🌱 DAY 6: ARE YOU TOO BUSY FOR THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU LIFE?

Theme: Intimacy with Christ
Luke 10:38–42 (NKJV)

What if we’re so busy serving Jesus that we no longer have time to sit at His feet?

We have time for work, family, appointments, social media, and even church activities. But sometimes, our personal time with Jesus is the first thing we sacrifice.

This reminds me of a conversation between a Pastor and a believer named Christian.

Christian: Pastor, I’m exhausted! Between work, family, and church responsibilities, I hardly have time for myself anymore.

Pastor: Christian, let me ask you something. When was the last time you sat quietly with your Bible and spent time with Jesus?

Christian: (Pauses.) Honestly, Pastor, I can’t remember. But I’m doing so many things for the Lord!

Pastor: That reminds me of Martha in Luke 10:38–42.

When Jesus visited her home, Martha was busy preparing and serving. Meanwhile, her sister Mary sat at Jesus’ feet, listening to His Word.

Martha became frustrated and asked Jesus to tell Mary to help her.

But listen to what Jesus said:

“Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:41–42, NKJV)

Christian: Pastor, was Martha wrong for serving Jesus?

Pastor: Not at all! Serving is good. But Martha became so distracted by her responsibilities that she missed the opportunity to listen to Jesus.

Christian: I think I’m becoming like Martha. I’m always busy doing things, even in ministry.

Pastor: And that’s something we all need to guard against, Christian. Even pastors!

Never become so busy working for Jesus that you neglect walking with Jesus.

Christian: So what should I do, Pastor? Stop serving?

Pastor: Of course not! Keep serving, but don’t neglect your personal fellowship with Christ. Remember, Mary chose to sit at His feet and listen. We need that same desire to hear His Word.

Christian: Pastor, I think I need to rearrange my priorities.

Pastor: We all do, Christian. Because the most important thing is not how much we accomplish for Jesus, but whether we are truly listening to Him and living in obedience to His Word.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US:

Being busy is not necessarily the same as being spiritually fruitful.

Our Lord Jesus deserves more than the leftover minutes of our day.

Before we become occupied with the work of the Lord, let us remember the Lord of the work.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:

Set aside 10–15 minutes today. Put away your phone, open your Bible, and spend some quiet time listening to God’s Word and praying.

Don’t rush. Don’t treat it as another task to finish.

Make time for the One who gave you life.

What usually keeps you from spending quality time with Jesus: work, family responsibilities, social media, or even ministry activities? Comment below.

Let’s encourage one another to put Jesus first.

Have a blessed day! 🙏

DAY 5: PRAYER IS MORE THAN ASKING GOD FOR THINGS

Theme: Intimacy with Christ Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV)

What if the only time your children talked to you was when they needed money or wanted something from you?

You would probably wonder, “Don’t they just want to spend time with me?”

Now, think about our prayer life.

Do we only come to God when we need something?

One Sunday, Christian approached his Pastor after the worship service.

Christian: Pastor, can I ask you something? I’ve been praying about so many things lately, but sometimes I feel like God isn’t answering me.

Pastor: Christian, let me ask you something. What do you usually talk to God about when you pray?

Christian: Well, my problems, my needs, my family, my work, and the things I’m worried about.

Pastor: And when was the last time you prayed simply to thank Him, praise Him, or enjoy spending time with Him?

Christian: (Pauses.) Honestly, Pastor, I can’t remember. I think most of my prayers are about asking God for something.

Pastor: There’s nothing wrong with bringing our needs to God, Christian. In fact, He invites us to do exactly that!

Listen to Philippians 4:6–7:

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (NKJV)

Christian: So God wants me to bring my worries to Him?

Pastor: Absolutely! But notice those words, “with thanksgiving.”

Prayer is not simply presenting God with a list of requests. It’s also thanking Him for His goodness, trusting Him with our worries, and learning to rest in His care.

Christian: Pastor, I think I’ve been more concerned about getting answers than spending time with God.

Pastor: And that’s something all of us need to examine, Christian, including pastors.

Remember, God is not a vending machine where we put in prayers and expect to receive whatever we want.

Prayer is a relationship with our heavenly Father, not merely a way of getting things from Him.

Christian: So even when my circumstances don’t change, I can still experience God’s peace?

Pastor: Yes, Christian. That’s exactly what Paul reminds us. God’s peace can guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, even while we are waiting for answers.

Christian: Thank you, Pastor. I think tonight I’ll spend some time simply thanking God instead of asking Him for more things.

Pastor: That’s a wonderful place to begin, Christian. And remember, never stop bringing your needs to Him. Just don’t forget to enjoy your relationship with the One you’re praying to.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US:

God welcomes our requests, but prayer is much more than asking Him to solve our problems.

Sometimes, the greatest blessing of prayer is not receiving what we asked for, but experiencing the peace of God while we wait.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:

Before asking God for anything today, spend a few quiet moments thanking Him for who He is and what He has already done.

LET ME ASK YOU:

What’s one thing you are thankful to God for today?

Share it in the comments. Let’s fill this space with thanksgiving and encouragement!

Have a blessed day!

DAY 4 — YOUR BIBLE SHOULDN'T BE GATHERING DUST
Theme: Intimacy with Christ | Psalm 119:105 (NKJV)

We check our phones countless times a day, but when was the last time we opened our Bibles just to hear what God has to say?

We have time for Facebook, YouTube, the news, and almost everything else. Yet sometimes, the very Book that teaches us how to live remains unopened!

One Sunday, Christian approached his Pastor after the worship service.

Christian: Pastor, I’ve been struggling with so many decisions lately. Sometimes I just don’t know what God wants me to do.

Pastor: Christian, when was the last time you spent time reading your Bible?

Christian: (Smiling awkwardly.) Honestly, Pastor, I can’t remember. I listen to sermons and watch Christian videos, though.

Pastor: Those can be helpful, Christian. But they should never replace your own time in God’s Word.

Christian: I know, Pastor. But sometimes I find the Bible difficult to understand.

Pastor: That’s understandable. But listen to what Psalm 119:105 says:

“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” (NKJV)

Christian: What does that mean, Pastor?

Pastor: Imagine walking along a dark road with a small lamp. It may not show you everything ahead, but it gives you enough light to see where to place your next step.

That’s what God’s Word does. It teaches us what is right, exposes what is wrong, and helps us walk in obedience to Him.

Christian: So I don’t need to understand the entire Bible before I begin?

Pastor: Of course not! Start with a few verses. Read them carefully. Ask what they teach about God and how you should respond. Pray for understanding, and put into practice what you learn.

Christian: Pastor, I think I’ve been looking everywhere for answers while neglecting the Bible sitting beside my bed.

Pastor: (Smiling.) Then perhaps it’s time to open it again, Christian.

And remember, we don’t read the Bible merely to gain information. We read it to know the Lord, understand His will, and grow in our obedience to Him.

Christian: Thank you, Pastor. I think I’ll start with the Gospel of John tonight!

Pastor: That’s a wonderful place to begin. And don’t just read to finish a chapter. Read to understand what God is saying through His Word.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US:

A Bible on our shelf will not guide our decisions if we never open it.

God has given us His Word to be read, believed, and obeyed, not merely displayed.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:

Before opening Facebook tomorrow morning, open your Bible first.

Read a few verses. Pray about what they mean. Pray over what you’ve read. And most importantly, live according to what God teaches you.

What book of the Bible are you currently reading, or which one would you like to start reading?

Share it in the comments. Let’s encourage one another to spend more time in God’s Word!

🌱 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

DAY 3: WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE ALONE WITH GOD?

We spend hours talking to people, scrolling through our phones, and attending to the demands of life. But when was the last time we spent even a few quiet minutes alone with God?

Not asking Him for anything. Not rushing through a prayer. Just enjoying His presence, listening to His Word, and opening our hearts to Him.

One Sunday, Christian approached his Pastor.

Christian: Pastor, I’m so busy lately. Work, family, responsibilities… I hardly have time to pray anymore.

Pastor: Christian, let me ask you something. When was the last time you were completely alone with God?

Christian: (Pauses.) Honestly, Pastor, I can’t remember.

Pastor: Let me remind you of something about our Lord Jesus.

Mark 1:35 tells us:

“Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” (NKJV)

Christian: Even Jesus made time to be alone in prayer?

Pastor: Yes! Despite His busy ministry, Jesus deliberately withdrew to pray to His Father.

Christian: Pastor, I keep telling myself I’ll pray when life becomes less busy.

Pastor: And when will that be, Christian? (Smiling.)

Christian: (Laughs.) Probably never!

Pastor: Then don’t wait. Start today. Put your phone aside, open your Bible, and spend a few quiet moments with God.

Remember, Christian, prayer is not another task to finish. It’s a privilege of having a relationship with our heavenly Father. Let us be in the discipline of spending time with the Lord in prayer, reading and meditating His Word every day. Make time for Him.

Christian: I think I’ve been giving God my leftover time instead of making Him a priority.

Pastor: That’s something we all need to examine, Christian. Even pastors.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US:

If Jesus deliberately made time to pray, how much more should we?

Don’t become so busy doing things for God that you neglect spending time with Him.

📍Today’s challenge:
Spend at least 15 uninterrupted minutes in prayer and in God’s Word. 🙏

When is your favourite time to be alone with God: morning, afternoon, or evening?

DAY 2: GOD WANTS YOUR HEART, NOT JUST YOUR SUNDAY. ❤️

WHAT IF JESUS ASKED YOU, “I SEE YOU EVERY SUNDAY, BUT WHERE ARE YOU THE REST OF THE WEEK?”

Imagine hearing those words.

You never miss church. You sing wholeheartedly, listen attentively to the sermon, and faithfully serve in ministry.

But when Monday comes, life takes over. Your Bible remains closed, prayer becomes an afterthought, and somehow, Jesus gets pushed to the background.

Could we be faithful in attending church but neglectful in walking with Christ?

This reminds me of a conversation between Pastor Christian.

One Sunday afternoon, after the worship service, Christian approached his Pastor.

Christian: Pastor, can I ask you something?

Pastor: Of course, Christian. What’s on your mind?

Christian: Pastor, I love going to church. I enjoy the worship, the preaching, and the fellowship. But sometimes I wonder why I still feel distant from God.

Pastor: Let me ask you something, Christian. What happens to your relationship with Jesus after Sunday?

Christian: What do you mean, Pastor?

Pastor: Well, you come to church, sing praises, listen to God’s Word, and enjoy being with other believers. That’s wonderful! But what about Monday? Tuesday? And the rest of the week? Do you still make time for Jesus?

Christian: (Pauses for a moment.) To be honest, Pastor, not as much as I should. Life gets busy. Work, family, responsibilities… Sometimes Sunday is the only day I really spend time focusing on God.

Pastor: I understand, Christian. We all struggle with that sometimes, even pastors. But let me share something Jesus said.

In Matthew 15:8, Jesus declared:

“These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.” (NKJV)

Christian: That’s a serious warning, Pastor.

Pastor: It is. Jesus was speaking about people who appeared religious on the outside, but their hearts were far from God. You see, Christian, we can sing beautiful worship songs and say all the right things, but God sees what is happening in our hearts.

Christian: So attending church every Sunday isn’t enough?

Pastor: Attending church is important, Christian. God wants us to gather, worship, and encourage one another. But church attendance is not a substitute for a personal relationship with Jesus.

Christian: I think I understand now, Pastor. I’ve been giving God my Sundays, but I’ve been so distracted during the rest of the week.

Pastor: Christian, remember this: Jesus doesn’t only want to be part of your Sunday. He wants to be Lord of your whole life.

He wants you to walk with Him at home, at work, when you’re happy, when you’re struggling, and even when nobody is watching.

Christian: But Pastor, where do I begin?

Pastor: Start with something simple. Tomorrow morning, before you reach for your phone, spend a few minutes with Jesus. Read His Word. Talk to Him. Thank Him for His goodness. And throughout the day, remember that He is with you.

Don’t do these things merely to complete a religious duty. Do them because you love Him and want to know Him more.

Christian: (Smiling.) Pastor, I think I’ve been treating my relationship with Jesus like a Sunday appointment.

Pastor: And that’s something we all need to guard against, Christian.

Remember, Jesus did not give His life for us so that we could simply become religious. He died and rose again to reconcile us to God.

Christian quietly nodded.

Christian: Thank you, Pastor. I don’t want Jesus to have just one day of my week anymore. I want Him to have my heart every day.

Pastor: That’s a beautiful desire, Christian. And remember, when you fall short, don’t run away from Him. Come back to Him. His grace is sufficient, and He is always faithful.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

A THOUGHT FOR ALL OF US TODAY:

We may faithfully attend church every Sunday, but let us never forget that our walk with Jesus continues when the worship service ends.

God is not impressed by religious appearances when our hearts are far from Him.

He wants our hearts, not just our Sundays.

And perhaps the question we should all ask ourselves today is this:

“Does my relationship with Jesus continue throughout the week, or does it begin and end on Sunday?”

May we all grow in a genuine, daily, and intimate relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🙏🙏

DAY 1: YOU CAN KNOW ABOUT JESUS WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING HIM

30 Days of Walking Closer with Jesus

One Sunday after church, Christian approached his pastor.

Christian: Pastor, can I ask you something? I’ve been attending church for years. I read my Bible, I pray, and I serve in ministry. But sometimes I feel like something is missing.

Pastor: Let me ask you a question. Do you know Jesus?

Christian: Of course, Pastor! I’ve been a Christian for many years.

Pastor: I know. But I’m not asking how long you’ve been a Christian. I’m asking, how well do you know Him personally?

Christian: What do you mean, Pastor?

Pastor: Well, you can know a lot about someone without actually being close to that person. You may know their story, their achievements, and even what they teach. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you have a personal relationship with them.

Christian: So you’re saying I can know a lot about Jesus without really knowing Him?

Pastor: Exactly. Jesus said in John 17:3:

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (NKJV)

Eternal life is not simply about knowing religious facts or being busy with church activities. It is about knowing God through Jesus Christ.

Christian: Pastor, how can I grow closer to Him?

Pastor: Start with the simple things. Spend time in His Word. Talk to Him in prayer. Trust Him. Obey what He teaches. And remember, we don’t do these things to earn His love, but because He has already loved us.

Christian: I think I’ve been so busy doing things for Jesus that I’ve neglected spending time with Him.

Pastor: And that’s something all of us need to guard against, including pastors.

Then Christian smiled and quietly said, “Pastor, I think I needed that reminder today.”

Here’s a question for all of us:

Are we so busy doing things for Jesus that we are neglecting our personal walk with Him?

Don’t be content with simply knowing about Jesus. Make it your desire to know Him more deeply every day.
