Does your work have you busy? Maybe now more than ever? Nothing wrong with having a job (2 Thess. 3:10). But what if my work dominates my schedule and keeps me too busy and distracted to actively serve my Lord, which is my whole purpose in living?
Does the schedule of your kids’ activities and hobbies have you busy? Maybe busier than you used to be? Nothing wrong with raising kids (Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4). But what if the school, sports and extracurricular activities dominates my schedule and keeps me too busy and distracted to actively serve my Lord, which is my whole purpose in living?
Broaden that out. What about my personal hobbies? What about my friendships? What about my extended family? What about my need for space? What about my bucket list? What about me? Brethren, many of us are missing and even neglecting the “one thing” that matters (Luke 10:41-42; Phil. 3:13-14). The devil has convinced us that it’s no big deal—and he’s very effective. Fellow Christian, we need to be honest—are we too busy and distracted?
