Busyness
Do you ever have times when you feel like you are too busy to think? That is my life lately. There are decisions that need to be made and yet little time to figure out the best path to take. This is complicated by the fact that, although I may ask God for direction, I hardly have time to listen to His reply. I often warn my readers to guard against this, but sometimes busyness can’t be helped. Therefore, I must learn to listen while I fulfill my obligations which keep me running.
If you find yourself in a similar predicament, I encourage you to watch for a window in which you can set a slower pace. There are seasons where one must increase the pace, but I don’t feel like this should be normative. If you never have time for God, you are really too busy.
The next few weeks will be hectic for me, but I will watch for minutes here and there to acknowledge my Father. I don’t want to drift apart from Him as people do when they haven’t talked in a while. My relationship with God is the most important one that I have so I praise Him daily and thank Him for His many blessings while trusting that He will give me the guidance I need when I need it. I continue to read His Word even if it is more rushed than usual. If I take that out of my routine, I may never get back to it, and that could harm my relationship with Him as well.
I hate to cut this short, but I see a half-hour window in which I can spend some time with my Savior, so I’m going to close for now. Maybe you can take some time to do so too.
Happy Palm Sunday!
Where does the time go? I always have great plans of writing more as I draw ever closer to the Lord and yet time gets away from me and the next thing I know, it’s been at least six weeks since I’ve posted. I’m very grateful to those who follow my page so that you know when I do write something new.
I wrote a Palm Sunday post for Music Scribe so I won’t post one here, but you can read it at https://blog.musicscribe.com/2023/04/palm-sunday-thoughts-2023.
Last month was busy as I think I was only home seven full days, so this next week will be spent catching up on a lot. Pray for me if you think of it. And don’t forget to focus on our Lord and everything He went through leading up to and including the Cross. It should make you love Him even more.
