Organizing Our Time With Yah in Mind
As I’ve been walking through this fast, I’ve realized something: abstaining from food and even worldly pleasures hasn’t been the hardest part. What has been challenging is carving out the time to really sit with Yah in His Word.
It’s not that I don’t want to—I truly do. But between early mornings at work, late afternoons, and everything in between, the hours slip away quickly. And if I’m honest, I catch myself making excuses.
So I’ve had to rebuke myself more than once in a day. Whenever I’m about to get caught up in something, I stop and ask: “Do I need to be doing this right now? Or could I open the Word, whisper a prayer, or just sit in silence with Yah?”
That self-check is crucial, because the truth is, we cannot afford to keep running on empty. We cannot go throughout our day without Yah and still call it “blessed.” Without His direction, without His instruction, we risk wandering in circles. He is our guide and our compass. Yes, we can navigate life in our own strength for a while, but in the end, we don’t want a solo act—we want to finish this journey with Him.
This is a call for me, and maybe for you too: no more slacking off. No more excuses. Every moment is an opportunity to realign our time and attention to the One who holds it all together.
