How Busy Are You?  

DECEMBER 29, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Esther 6:1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    Have you ever found yourself awake in the middle of the night and unable to get to sleep? You have counted sheep until you hate the wooly little creatures for no reason. Maybe you have counted until you have just run out of numbers. You have tried to think of a peaceful place and the quietness keeps you awake. It is too late in the night to take a sleeping pill, as you will be groggy all the next morning. It is way too early to wake someone else in the house to talk with. TV has nothing but infomercials, reruns, and junk. What should you do? Do as the king did in Esther 6:1. Get out your Bible and begin to read it. It might very well be that God is trying to get your attention.

    We are so busy during the day with work, family, friends, and chores. Time to get alone with God may seem to have just slipped by before you knew it. Now things are quiet and peaceful, and God is saying… “Let’s talk a bit.” I have found some of my most intimate times with God are early in the morning. I read a bit and pray a bit. I speak to Him and then read and let Him speak to me. You may wonder if I am tired the rest of the day. Well sometimes, however it seems God gives me the energy and alertness to get through my day. Then guess what? The next night I usually sleep really well.   

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

  Spend time with God on a regular basis. As you are making those New Year’s Resolutions, resolve to set aside a time every single day to be alone with God. I promise it will become one of your favorite times of the day. You will not be sorry.
