There is a lot to do. There always is. Work, school, hobbies, family. It’s all important. Most all of it is good and even necessary. And we are told to do everything as if we were doing it to the Lord. So, if we have to do all these things and do them well, we better hustle, right? We better get up early and stay up late working, working, working. Uh oh, somebody is doing it better than us. Better work harder. Try harder. Do more.
That’s not what God says. He says to “Be still and know that I am God.” (Ps. 46:10) Just stop for a while. Chill out. Let your hands hang down and quit trying to do it all and fix it all and be all. In fact, He is so concerned that you stop working so hard that He set aside one day every week for you to keep holy, separate and different so that your mind and body and spirit can just rest and re-focus on Him, the giver of all life and energy.
Stop what you are doing. Read Psalm 46. I’ll see you Sunday morning at 10 and then that evening at 6. I love you all! — Todd
