More from the “Seeds of David”: Persistence
Keep your schedule free to love Jesus anytime, day or night, that He requests an intimate audience with you. It’s more important to have special time with the Master of the work, than to only work for the Master. The work shows Him your love, but only to a certain extent. He also loves and needs that time with you, all work aside.
So clear your schedule—that is to say—don’t hold up work as a reason for pushing aside His calls to Your heart, when it’s time for just You and Him to be together. Say, “I’m here for You, and want to be with You more than ‘adding to my rewards in Heaven by doing great things for You’. I’m here for the purpose of knowing You, and being with You, Jesus.”
Of course you need to obey and work hard, and do the Master’s work, but when His Spirit calls you to His side, that really takes top priority. He’s the one you do need to please, after all. And all these things you are “doing for Him” is for what? To make Him happy. So, if that is the case, then whatever, at this moment in time, makes Him the most pleased, then that is your top priority.
The enemy will always make a fuss about it, telling you how unfaithful, lazy and neglectful you are being to just toss aside that immense list of “gotta do” and just open your arms to hold your Redeemer tightly to your heart. But don’t fall for that trap. And it is a trap. For the moment you turn to your work only, when your King and Redeemer is waiting for a personal time with you, you’ll be hit with a host of other new battles. 
The lying serpent didn’t want you to do the work, he just wanted to keep you from the arms of the King who would empower you to do an even faster and better job, with more spiritual protection from the battles while working.
