Most of us are going as fast as we can, living life at a dizzyng speed, and God is no where to be found. We're not rejecting God; we just don't have time for him. We've lost him in the blurred landscape as we rush to church. We don't struggle with the Bible, but with the clock. It's not that we're too decadent; we're too busy. We don't feel guilty becasue of sin, but because we have no time for our spouses, our children, or our God. It's not sinning too much that is killing our souls, it's our schedule that's annihilating us. Most of us don't come home at night staggering drunk. Instead, we come home staggering tired, worn out, exhausted, and drained becasue we live too fast.---Messy Spirituality, p.96. Note(my contribution): Jesus never hurried anywhere. Christianity is not about inviting Jesus to speed through life with us; it's about noticing Jesus sitting at the rest stop.(97) Busyiness is the thing that I see satan use as the major distraction of God's saints. |
