We've all been there—sitting in a waiting room, thinking we'll be called any minute. Then we glance at the time and realize it's been half an hour… and we were even early! That happened to me this week, and I found myself wondering: how often do we waste moments like this? We spend so much of our lives waiting. Waiting to be called to see our doctor. Waiting in lines, waiting for answers. Waiting for what's next. What if we could reclaim those pauses in our day and use them to draw closer to God? Instead of mindless scrolling, how can we take that time and make it meaningful? |
Here are three ways I've found to turn downtime into meaningful time with God: - Read the Bible.
You can access Scripture on BibleGateway.com from any device. If you're not sure where to start, try the Gospel of John—it's a beautiful way to get to know Jesus.
- Reflect on verses that inspire you.
With a free Bible Gateway account, you can highlight verses and jot down notes while you wait—whether you're in a doctor's office or pausing between errands. It's a simple way to capture what God is showing you in the moment.
- Access deeper meaning with Bible Gateway Plus.
Bible Gateway Plus is like carrying a library of trusted Bible study tools right in your pocket. It's perfect for those in-between moments, providing instant answers to questions you may have as you read Scripture. (The biggest bonus? It's completely distraction-free—with no ads!)
Whether you're in a waiting room, a long line, or simply needing a moment of peace, I hope one of these ideas helps you grow in your understanding of God's Word. Blessings, Jody from Bible Gateway |
