Too Busy?
Careful planning puts you ahead in the long run; hurry and scurry puts you
further behind.
PROVERBS 21:5 MSG
Has the hectic pace of life robbed you of the peace that might otherwise be
yours through Jesus Christ? Are you one of those people who is simply too busy
for your own good? If so, you're doing everybody a disservice by heaping
needless stresses upon yourself and your loved ones.
God offers you a peace that passes human understanding, but He won't force
His peace upon you; in order to experience it, you must slow down long enough
to sense His presence and His love.
Today, as a gift to yourself, to your family, and to your world, invite
Christ to preside over every aspect of your life. It's the best way to live and
the surest path to peace . . . today and forever.
Often our lives are strangled by things that don't ultimately matter.
~Grady Nutt
This is a day when we are so busy doing everything that we have no time to be
anything. Even religiously we are so occupied with activities that we have
no time to know God. ~Vance Havner
Being busy, in and of itself, is not a sin. But being busy in an endless
pursuit of things that leave us empty and hollow and broken inside-that cannot
be pleasing to God. ~Max Lucado
We often become mentally and spiritually barren because we're so busy.
~Franklin Graham
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, when the quickening pace of life leaves me with little time for
worship or for praise, help me to reorder my priorities, and let me turn to
Jesus for the peace that only He can give. Amen
