"I have set the Lord always before me." -Psalm 16:8
God does not desire more of our time sometimes; he desires more of our attention all the time.
Ever feel frustrated because you hear messages about getting closer to God and you definitely desire this for yourself, but you are inundated with so much to do already that this only makes you feel guilty because you are too busy for God?
I once saw a sign that read: "Your god is what you pay attention to." You see, I believe you can pay attention to God while you are doing everything else. It's all about doing everything for God and seeing God in everything we do. It's about bringing God into the boardroom, the exercise room, the living room, and the bedroom. Now of course, he's already in all these places but we're talking about being aware of His being there at all times. That's what it means to set the Lord always before us.
Worship is a frame of mind that always has God in the picture. We don't need church, or Bible study, or devotions to remind us about the Lord if we're already aware of Him all the time. These opportunities then become more precious to us because we can devote all our attention to that which we have been aware of all along!!
Question to ponder: Are your eyes ever on the Lord?
