Don't Be Busy!
Every so often, there comes a time in the life of a Christian where they can feel bland; where they feel like they aren’t really radical, or not really ‘on fire’ for God. This can tend to come on when life gets very busy, when life seems to be overwhelming. Busyness is a joy killer, busyness is a peace killer, busyness robs you from making the right decisions.
‘For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.’ - Romans 8:14
If we are lead by the Spirit we will begin a life long process that involves you releasing control over all areas of your life to God (that's not easy). So when the busyness comes, when people try and rush you, when you have 3 exams in 2 days and cannot see away around it you can find rest in God. Like the Psalmist said, ‘Be still in the presence of the LORD’.
When the enemy comes, and he will at some point. You don’t have to worry about stress, you don’t have to worry being too busy, you don’t have to worry about losing your peace. We have been made by God. We are sons/daughters of the creator of the universe. That carries some swagger. That carries some power. We are fully allowed to invite God in to every area of our lives and have Him rule. We are able to ask Him for help when we feel stuck. We are able to ask Him for peace when stress is around. Be like Joshua in the Bible. When anointed to lead the Israelites in to the promise land his command from God was to, ‘Be Strong and Courageous!’. |
