Too Busy

Too Busy

The day has only begun and already I have a million and one things to do.

Where should I start?

There's the laundry, kids to get to sporting practice, I've got to get a little work out at the gym, I have a hair appointment, a few items to pickup from the store, studying needing to be done for next week's exam, oh yea, and somethings going on at church but I'm too busy, so that's out.

I promised Claire I'd attend her job anniversary celebration Monday and I can't forget to remind Jake to stop and pickup my outfit from the dry cleaners on his way home.  Woo hoo! the final episode of my favorite show will be on tonight, can't miss that.
I guess we'll have takeout tonight, I won't have time to prepare dinner. 

Wow, where has time gone? this is the weekend of the big business conference I've been anxiously awaiting. 

Gosh, looks as if I'll be missing church services again this Sunday. 

After all, I've paid for the conference, and am super excited about attending the workshops they've offered. 

If I'm not too tired I'll at least read a few scriptures after I tuck the kids in tonight. 

Here we go again, I missed watching my show but it didn't miss watching me sleep.
 I didn't even get around to reading the word.

Oh well, tomorrows a new day and I'll simply have to try it again.
As the saying goes "if at first you don't succeed try, try again," but I've tryied on numerous occasions to read my bible and have yet to experience successes in this area.
This is why I at least try and go to church. 

Life is hectic and I am simply too busy.

Is your life too busy for God? Do you have priorities ahead of God?

Matthew 6:33 " But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well."  (NIV)

Believers, like the world, can find themselves loosing sight of what is most important.

Can you imagine a cluttered mind that races ahead, to what's next in my basket of things to do?
Can you imagine anything about this being peaceful?

I'd say not.

However the Lord does want to reward you with his peace and a whole lot more.

Do you believe God wants the very best for you, and wants to direct you in and to the very best of everything?

Well he does, and here's how you access his best.

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him." (NLT)

If you are too busy to learn of and follow his instructions, I guess you're also too busy to access his promises.
He has invited you to rest in him.
Matthew 11:28 " Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest for your souls."
Are you still too busy?
