I'm afraid I have been too busy the last couple of weeks to really blog.
What is too busy?
I realised that I have allowed myself to fill up my time to the point that I am not stopping to give God time to really speak, to meditate on his word and let it sink in. I can tell because I don't feel as relaxed, I haven't slept as well. My attitude is different, it is more self absorbed. Pride is big. Sure I am still reading my bible, I am still praying, though admitedly not for as long as I'd like. The majority of the activities I fill up my time with are Christian, bible study, church leaders meeting, church youth group, church meeting, church, church again. Even the social events I attended were with the purpose of building relationships in order to share the gospel, a night out with some colegues from my new job, meeting up with a friend I have been sharing the gospel with, an exercise class with a friend from another church. All those things are great, and good, but none of them is as good as God! That is obvious right? Then why do I allow these things to distract me from the one who I claim to be living for?!
Lord be THE priority in my life. Please save me from filling my time and missing you! Lord don't let me seek you as a means to an end but be the end!
Please grant me repentance and restore to me the joy of abiding in you.
