too busy

My friends, do not be surprised at the terrible trouble which now comes to test you. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.

- 1 Peter 4:12 (NCV)

 

I listen to Christian radio a lot.
The music is generally uplifting and there are days that the music is the only thing that keeps me sane.
We are so busy all the time that we don’t take a moment to breathe, and I fully admit that I am one of those people.
My husband used to laugh at me because I would not just sit down and watch television or a movie, I had to be doing something. 
On the morning show of the Christian station last week, I heard the host quote “If the devil can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy”.

DUDE.
Why are people seeing my life? 
I had to heck the googles and I learned that Corrie ten Boom said those words and John Mark Comer quoted her in one of his books, following that with “There’s truth in that. Both sin and busyness have the exact same effect—they cut off your connection to God, to other people, and even to your own soul.”
Again, DUDE. 
We are coming up on the holiday season and we are going to start getting busier and busier.
That is the perfect time for us to start seeing more and more trouble as the devil tries his hardest to drive a wedge in between you and God.

Don’t let it happen.
Don’t chalk it up to something strange going on. 

See it for what it is – the devil keeping you busy so you don’t have time for God.
