| | | | | | Missing God's Best - Ken Barnes
"Then Jesus said, 'Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.'" (Mark 6:31a NLT)
Jesus said this to his disciples because they had become so busy that they did not have time to eat. I am really busy is one of the most common retorts today when asked how you are doing. As Christians, we are so involved in good things that we miss God's best.
In Exodus 31:17, the Lord gives a very busy man, Moses, a pattern to follow. It was the same plan that God used in the work of creation, one day in seven for rest. We often tax our minds and bodies in ways that God never intended. We fill in our weekly schedules with little time for rest, reflection, or spending time with our source of strength, God. Someone once said, "If your output exceeds your input, your upkeep will be your downfall." We make the mistake of believing that through good intentions and determination we can maintain our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. God did not try to live like this so why should we? God knows what we need, and there is no substitute for one-on-one time with him. I am not saying that our day of rest has to always be filled with Bible reading and prayer, but in activities where at least God can get our attention.
What is the practical point here? Make your schedule around God and not God around your schedule. It's all about priorities. My prayer for all of us is that we won't come to the end of this earthly journey and realize that we have experienced good and missed God's best.

As we help you become the writer God has called you to be, you help us spread the gospel in over 230 countries online. Here is a quote from a reader who accepted Jesus on FaithWriters. His life will never be the same because one writer “put pen to paper” and shared it.
‘I literally was transformed and totally healed in an instant upon trusting in Jesus as my lord and savior. The love, joy, light, and peace I feel is way more than words or thoughts can express. This new life of being a true Christian, who is saved, Spirit-filled, born-again, fully and truly converted by the living holy gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, is going to carry my being further than anyone could ever imagine. It will be the most blessed, rewarding, and holy life in the Lord, which I have embarked upon now.’” Roger P. |
