How to Make Time for Jesus in the Home

Women have the opportunity to bring Jesus into our homes daily. Sometimes our lives can get hectic, and we can forget the most important things. But I know as we keep Christ as the center of our homes, we can feel peace and happiness there.

How do you make time for Jesus in your house?

Life is hectic. I appreciate that. But you cannot let your life come to be too busy to recognize, communicate, and serve your Savior, Jesus. It starts with an attitude of acknowledgment. "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Romans 1:21

Once you acknowledge Jesus as the giver of life and all its blessings, you will be more motivated to…

Give thanks all through the day. Amid the bustle of our days, it is a great idea to pause, take a deep breath, and thank Jesus that we can be busy. Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10b. Please give thanks for our abundant life by honoring the one who gave us life. Give thanks for your home as you empty the dishwasher, flip on the lights, feel water running down your back as you shower, or put away the laundry.

Be more mindful of what you allow into your home—books, music, social media, tv shows, etc. "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8

Do not just live your life—pray your life. Pray for your wisdom. Pray for your answers. Pray for your guidance. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." Proverbs 3:5-8

Making time for Jesus in your home does not necessitate you to find extra hours in a day. It purely means including Jesus…making Him a part of every part of your day by:

• Talking to God about the significant, minor, and in-between things of life
• ‘Testing’ the decisions you make corresponding to what the Bible says
• Recognizing God as the LORD of your life through your faith and obedience to His will

Jesus warns us against being lukewarm: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16. Do not let this be you. Make time for Jesus all day, every day.
