THE FIVE MINUTE RULE WITH GOD

     I received this GOD CHART in an e-mail the other day and since it only had the chapter and verse from the Bible, I decided to add the verses to it so I wouldn't have to look them up when I was reading. Some of the reference verses made sence to me and some of them didn't, but it still is a great read and it lets people know how much God loves them and takes care of them. He watches over us daily and sometimes we take him for granted. He blesses us so much that we should thank him everyday. Just look around and see all the things that he had given us. No one could ever thank him enough in our life time for all he has done. People write songs about him and glorify him but it still isn't enough. Please take time today for just 5 minuets to thank God for your life. Just 5 minutes isn't a very long time and yet if you make it a habit to spend 5 minutes with God everyday, you will see a difference. All he asked of us is 10 % and that includes your time. In 24 hours, we should give him 2 hours and 40 minutes a day, so we all fall short. Most people just visit church on Sunday and a few on Wednesday night so just try 5 minutes a day for a change. When you first wake up in the morning, take a minute to thank God for waking up today. At each meal, thank him and a minute at bedtime to thank him for the day. You will see that you really have time for God and all his blessings will begin to pour in and fill you with his love. He took time to make you and mold you in his image and I don't think 5 minutes is much time to give back. Then you will find that you have a little more time each day for GOD.

God determines who walks into your life.....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.
Father, God, bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day. And may their lives be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.

Please take five minutes today for GOD and he will pour out a blessing that you can't contain.
