It has been nearly a month since I updated my blog. I am a bit disappointed in myself. I set out to regularly update my blog. It was a goal I set for myself earlier this year. I was pretty gung ho about it and was commenting fairly regularly on the book of Acts, but then something happened.
BUSYNESS! Busyness can distract us from goals. It can distract us from those things that are important! It can distract us from being a God follower. The cost of busyness is life changing in the wrong way! It can be destructive to your health and it can be destructive in your spiritual walk with Jesus. Jesus said to the rich man: "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." His possession, his wealth, his money is what kept him away from Jesus. He even knew the commands, but he would not live by the commands of grace, love, forgivenss and a pursuit for Jesus.
What is keeping you busy from attending church? from praying? from reading the Bible? from making some significant lifestyle changes? from following Christ? You know what they are. God knows what they are. All you need to do as I have done...confess...give it to God. He has made a difference in the world and he can make a difference in YOU!

I can so relate to this post right now. More about the getting too busy and losing focus.
