Should we schedule time with God?
Only if you want it to happen.
A father should schedule dates with his daughter, but only if he wants her to have a glimpse of how a man should treat her, in hopes that she will hold out for that.
A company leader should schedule vision meetings with his (her) staff, but only if he (she) wants to head an endeavor known for maximum cohesiveness.
A married couple should schedule time where nothing is on their radar except each other, but only if they want their relationship to endure well the exhaustion and exceeding demands of everyday life.
So schedule time with God? Our relationship with Him is like every other relationship: time put in + how present we are = quality and meaningfulness of how we know each other.
There is a way to have a glimpse of how love should treat us...God's love shows that.
There is a way to lead yourself with maximum cohesiveness and productivity...God's vision for living inspires that.
There is a way to have nothing on our radar for a few precious moments each day except ourselves and God...God's input in that time spent is how we endure well the exhaustion and exceeding demands of everyday life.
Is He on your schedule today?
