Doing vs. Seeking
I read a good article yesterday about how easy it is to focus on serving God instead of focusing on our relationship with Him. It seems like my mind is often focused on what I want to accomplish for God instead of how God wants me to live. This is an area God’s been showing me so, when I read the article, it was more an Amen to what God was already speaking.
It’s hard when there’s so much to do in a day’s time. Especially with Christmas coming up, there’s so much I need to accomplish, especially where my work’s concerned but I’m asking God to show me what it means to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” and how to “be still and know that He is God” while being responsible at the same time.
It’s important we fulfill God’s calling and do what He’s called us to do. However, when we get too busy to spend time with Him we’re too busy. When we’re not asking what He desires us to do but we’re bombing ahead doing the “good things” we’re sure He wants us to do, we’re wasting our time. We can accomplish nothing in our own strength but, with His help, we can have a productive life and one that’s led by His Spirit. That’s what I’m striving for. I hope you’ll join me.
