Just something to think about. It's a mistake I always make

[Brandi]

I wanted you all to read this because I think we get so caught up in our desires and immediate wants that we forget to stay focused on Gods plan in our lives. This is something to read, something that will hopefully help to keep us all centered and focused, moving in the right direction. It made me stop and think, then begin to redirect.

Enjoy!

Too Busy for Joy?

Scripture

"...then God blessed them, and said to them, 'be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it...'" (Genesis 1:28)


Are you missing out on the joys of life because you are too busy? Are you over-committed? God never called you to be busy–He called you to be fruitful. Don't get activity mixed up with productivity. Just because you are on the go, and always doing things–even godly things–doesn't necessarily mean that you're fulfilling God's best plan for your life.

Let me encourage you to prayerfully take inventory of the different activities in your life. Ask the Lord to show you which areas need to be pruned, and which areas need more focus. Ask Him to show which relationships to move away from, and which relationships to cultivate in your life. Stop allowing the unfruitful areas of your life to consume all of your time, focus, and energy. As you make adjustments to bring balance to your schedule, invest in the activities and relationships that bring you joy and peace. As you do, you will experience God's abundant blessing in every area of life!

A Prayer for Today

God, order my steps today. Help me to prioritize and to focus on those things that honor You and fulfill Your plan for my life. There may be relationships, commitments, and activities that I have to let go of—give me the courage to do so. I want to slow down, restore balance and experience more joy in my life! In Jesus' name – Amen
