Month: May 2018

Lie:      I’m unavoidably too busy.
Truth: I have the time to do all of God’s will.
What is busyness?
Busyness is a form of overcommitment. It’s like three things:
clutter – too much stuff for the space it must occupy.
debt – too many financial commitments for the amount of income.
gluttony – too much food for the gastro-intestinal system to process at one time.
We know the symptoms: hurry, lateness, frustration . . .

Lie: Rest must be earned.
Truth: Rest is given.
Do you ever: feel guilty when you relax? have trouble receiving unsolicited gifts? need to stay busy? If you do, you may have imbibed this subtle lie: Rest must be earned. The truth is that our rest was so important that God built it into his world from the very beginning.
