Our senses are being overloaded by the needs of so many attentions again. There is Texas trying to recover from the beat down “Hurricane Ike” just gave it, Wallstreet is reacting to some major bankruptcy notices, we have political forums battling back and forth, and of course there is our own more perceptible daily needs.
The kid who needs to get to school, car needs some work, job is calling for more overtime (if we are lucky), and here we are trying to balance it all. How do we fit the Lord’s time into this absorption scenario?
Well that’s the key isn’t it? The more distracted we are with our own situation then the less time we can spend pursuing our higher calling. What a masterful lie that one is! How many of us become discouraged by the voices of busyness surrounding us? Let’s not become discouraged in our true calling to rebuild the body of Christ into the unity for which we are called.
