Are we busy being busy?

I don't know about you, but I lead an extremely busy life. Our culture encourages us to work hard and play hard, but is our culture right? We fill our days (and nights) with all sorts of activities: some good, some important, some not so important - and some a down right waste of our lives.

Who is to blame for all this busyness?

Sometimes it's circumstances and economic need.
Sometimes it's us...because we don't want time to think, time to be alone, time to reflect and look back.

I find sadly that when I get busy the first casualty is my time with God. "I will spend some time with you tomorrow God." But unfortunately tomorrow never comes any differently, unless we do something to change what we do. I believe our Enemy would try and draw us deeper and deeper into our own busyness knowing that the first casualtly of our busyness will be God. The time has come for you and me to start some spiritual warfare and STOP and take stock of how we use our time.

Then place God back in his rightful place.
