Busy

Do you ever think that eventually, when we get so busy doing the right things for God, that we will actually become less busy? I think that being busy is relative to your relationship with the Lord. What, really, constitutes busy?

Look at it like this: we only feel too busy to do the things that are fun in our lives when the not so fun stuff interferes. As followers of Jesus, I think that we will grow to a point that our ministry, work, and play will all be equal on the fun factor because our desire to serve God will be as great or greater than our desire to play. If our serving is what currently makes our lives seem busy, then as we grow and desire to serve God more out of love, then the things we used to see as fun (ie. Sunday afternoon football) become less important and actually can hinder your real desire to serve.

When our desire to serve and work hard for the Lord increases, we won't see work and serving as busy work. Instead we'll find that the priority of those fun things of this world (selfishness) will move lower on the list. Our day will be still just as full as always, but won't seem busy because of our joy in working for God.

(the Lord) will render to every man according to his deeds...to those who are selfishly ambitious...wrath and indignation. Romans 2:6,8

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus... Colossians 3:17
