When it comes to our multi-tasking philosophy in gaming, my wife and I have two very different approaches. While I often have several games I’m bouncing between (without being close to finishing any of them), she typically focuses her available time and energies on only ONE. As a result, when we load up Animal Crossing to play together she will have gained a ton of new tools, completed all of the seasonal events, expanded her house, and filled it with cool new things. Meanwhile, my house is full of bugs, my yard has weeds, and my villagers are complaining that they never see me. We might be playing the same game, but our experience with it varies because we invested our time much differently.

While the Lord loves all His children equally, He also made it clear that our relationship with Him is a two-way street. If we choose to make time for Him, we’ll reap the benefits of growing closer to Him… but if we allow the cares of this world or even our God-given responsibilities in life to take priority over investing deeper into Him, we will only possess a shallow relationship at best. No matter how busy we are today, let’s create some space in our schedule to share our hearts with the Lord as well as give him dedicated time to tell us what He has to say… the best rewards are reserved for those who reserve time for Him.

Jesus answered and said to her, “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

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7-8
