Busy as a bee.
Bees are productive. They don’t waste time.
We are often busy.
But are we always productive?
It seems that most of us are always running around doing something. Some of us work full-time outside of the home. Others work even harder in it.
Our society often pushes us to do more. Employers expect more. Family members demand more. Many of us are always on the run with jobs, kids, and family and readily lose sight of where we are going. Or, what we should be doing.
We are increasingly busy.
Busy with things we can’t escape and busy searching ways to escape.
We often busy ourselves with nonsense.
Time killers.
Dead relationships.
Some of us are so busy we lose focus for those things that really matter.
Family.
Friends.
Too busy for God?
If you find yourself breathless, overwhelmed, or stressed to the breaking point… stop!
S-T-O-P!
You can run around for days and accomplish nothing. Or you can be still and allow God to order your steps.
The Holy Spirit can guide you to the best use of your time.
Futility can be transformed into fruitfulness.
Think Pray about what you’re doing instead of going along aimlessly.
Is it time for you to change gears?
Take a different path?
You can try keeping up with everyone else under the assumption they know what they are doing, or you can try God.
God can rearrange those things that stress me and allow them to bless me…when I choose to trust Him.
Be blessed, not stressed!
Invite God into more of your life and see what He will do.
Busy or Productive?
The choice is yours.
“And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands. “ Psalms 90:17 NKJV
“that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;” Colossians 1:10 NKJV
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” John 15:4 NKJV
B Is for Blessed!

“Invite God” is the key, isn’t it? It’s important to extend Him the invitation and allow Him to guide us, lead us, restore us and love us. In all, we work for Him.

So, true Susan, Sometimes in our “busy” we forget our true purpose.
