We all complain about how busy we are. And fret and bother and even present ourselves as martyrs because of the many demands on us. And yet truth be told, many of us are addicted to our busy-ness. We truly can’t live without it. Furthermore we really aren’t trying to. When things slow down and we begin to sabotage ourselves and the time God is creating for us to have sweet communion with Him, STOP! Let go of all the stuff. Let go of the constant need to be doing something! Let go of the insecurities that drive you.
God is calling us to come and sit as His feet. He is calling us to be “Mary”s who choose the “one thing” of ever-always being in His presence and utterly-desperately-depending upon Him for all things.
Let God speak to you. Let God sit a while with you and you with Him. Call out to Him and let Him truly be your peace! Being busy doesn’t fulfill, nor does it bring peace or contentment or true success. Being with the Lord is what ultimately brings life abundant and the only side effects of being with Him is a greater awareness of His moving, a greater sensitivity to His revelations, a greater compassion for the lost and a greater inner sense of love, joy, peace and rest. Why don’t you lay down your busy-ness and sit a while with the Lord?
