Being Busy

I'm in the middle of a very busy week. We had a music ministry workshop for CFC and the family ministries, attended the International Kids Village with my family, transferred office, transferring home, and preparing for my Canada trip (whew).  But I praise God, for I am busy for my service to God and my family.

We can be busy about many things.  But who are we busy for?  There are two kinds of busy:

Being Under Satan's Yoke (i heard this from someone before). Busyness that leads us away from God and breaks down our relationships, specially with our family.

Being Under (the) Spirit's Yearning. The Lord yearns, desires for us to serve and worship with the time, talent, and treasures we have. His yearning, should also be our yearning. Being busy for the Lord, gives us no more time to sin. They say, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop." To a great degree, this saying is true. We often sin when we have nothing better to do.

Let us then devote our strength and time to the things that merit the Eternal. We can be easily lured to the temporary because the results are immediate. Let us follow the yearning of the Spirit to actively build God's Kingdom and fortify our relationships with our friends and family.
