5 Minutes With God – Everyday
THIS WEEK READ DAYS 104-110
When I stop to think about the ‘goal’ that we will achieve at the conclusion of
this devotional book, some people might not be very impressed. If I told someone that
at the end of an entire year we would only have finished reading 4 books of the New
Testament, they might think I had set a very low bar to achieve. “Why even bother with
something so trivial?” they might even ask.
And truly– when the only measure of a task’s worth is how big it is, they might be
right. It isn’t like reading the entire Bible or even New Testament. I would remind us that
the Gospels by themselves are nearly half of the New Testament, however, so even if
they are only 4 books they still make up a substantial portion of the Bible. But this task
is more than just a percentage or sum of pages turned. This goal represents significant
time at the feet of the Savior of mankind, both in his sacrificial life AND in his perfect
teaching and way of living. He showed us what could be done, and in following him we
find out what we can do when we listen and obey. Isn’t that worth pursuing, no matter
how ‘impressive’ the end result might look to the untrained eye?
So make your 5 minutes with God a special time this week. It will change your
life– if you do it everyday. I hope you are blessed as you read!
With Love, Adam

Hugging to Life
A business executive became depressed. Things were not going well at work, and
he was bringing his problems home with him every night. Every evening he would
eat his dinner in silence, shutting out his wife and five-year old daughter. Then he
would go into the den and read the paper—using the newspaper to wall his family
out of his life.
After several nights of this, his daughter took her hand and pushed the newspaper
down. She then jumped into her father’s lap, wrapped her arms around his neck
and hugged him strongly. The father said abruptly, “Honey, you are hugging me
to death!” “No, Daddy, “ she said, “I’m hugging you to life!”
Jesus took people where they were and hugged them to life. -e Sermons.com
