I haven't written in a while, because I have been so busy. Business is the only thing that I loathe about the academic life. As the hectic semester drags on, I become concerned about myself: my grades, my reputation, my ministry, my future, etc. I forget about God, His word, and being in communion with HIM every day. I try to fit him into my schedule, instead of fitting my schedule into His majestic love for me.
Did God created us to be busy all the time, or were we meant to live in a more silent stillness? Is it possible to be peaceful and still at heart while being externally busy? Does our business prevent us from living in God's joy, or can God use hecticness for His good? Is being too busy a sin?
I find that not only am I busy with school, but my mind is always busy. I am always seeking answers and thirsting for more of God's knowledge. I am always trying to distinguish between worldly ways and His ways. While I believe that He delights in our thirst for His wisdom, we are also to come to Him as children and sit at His feet. Children ask good questions, but they are also content with simply being with the ones that they look up to, regardless of whether they got answers. How often do we forget to come to God as children?
