In our frustrating and futile efforts to keep up the demands of life maintenance, our souls have shrivelled. We have more tasks, activities, and deadlines to accomplish than ever; we have more to organize, store, and maintain than ever; and the result is that we’re becoming increasingly efficient at leading meaningless lives. What good is our multitasking, the accomplishment of more and more, and the acquisition of wealth, if we are not – by the means God has given us – becoming more like Jesus, the One we live for and the One who will evaluate our lives? Donald S. Whitney
I think that we all should be busy doing good things, but I think we should evaluate why we do what we do. And I’m not thinking about things in general… I think about little things of life that we do, how we spend our time and how much we get busy. We need to stop and think “Why do I do that?” God sometimes isn’t in our activities and we do things simply because it’s been that way since years, or because we must do these things. Even when we don’t do things for any godly reason (especially when it’s a necessity) I think we need to find ways to turn our focus on God and remind ourselves that we depend on Him. Lots of things that we do and weary our bodies and minds are burdens Jesus wants to either bear for us or leave behind us. We need to evaluate our ways… because ultimately, God will do it to our face and we’d be simply glad to have done our duty. (Luke 17:10)
