Three days a week I go and work out. The other day our instructor had us do exercises for our abdominals, 5 minutes worth. Needless to say it was a "killer" workout and the next day I'm sure I looked like a caveman walking around with my knuckles dragging not quite able to stand erect. The lesson learned, other then physical was this we did alot of work in only 5 minutes.
Think about for just a moment; 5 minutes is the time of most commercials on TV, 5 minutes is the time you wait for the microwave to cook your dinner, 5 minutes is the minimum most of us spend on one phone call. What I'm trying to say is that most of us have 5 "free minutes," or 5 "spare minutes" just lying around during the day.
Now you don't have to "get down" and give me twenty but how about opening your Bible and reading a chapter or two; or maybe you could read from your daily meditation book on a more regular basis; or maybe you could sit quietly and pray. Don't let the excuse "I just don't have time" keep you from being in the presence of God. 5 minutes; God's worth it!
