Rush Day?

Good morning! It's Tuesday, and that means going here, running there already, and of course running behind on the devotional. Wah! Ain't I a crier? Aww, the cat put a paw on my shoulder to comfort me, or maybe he wants some food and my ear seems a good place to sniff around for some. Hard to tell with a feline, but more likely the food one. We all seem to have days that start out in a hurry, and sometimes that day does not stop until nightfall or later. We rush and rush getting things done, going to meetings, and answering the phone, but then at the end of that day we have trouble remembering what we accomplished with all the rushing about. I suspect that when the cleansing fire comes, many of the things we rush about doing will be burned up as chaff. Not that we can get away from them, for the struggle to put food on the table and pay the bills doesn't just go away because you or I want it to. The question we may want to ask comes to mind: Is God further away from us on a day when we run about like the proverbial headless barnyard fowl? Of course He isn't!

How could the Spirit within you be further away? Has anyone tried putting our 'within' on a shelf and walking away from it? Didn't work, I'll bet. Jesus stated that He would be with us always. A rush day does not push out the Spirit. A busy morning does not nullify the promise of Jesus. God's Word was good, is good, and will always be perfect, holy, and steadfast. No worries mate! Be busy when you must, slow down when you can, and praise God all the way! If you've been too busy for as long as you can remember...well, that is a different problem. For today, schedule a time to get quiet with God for just a few minutes. Tomorrow we can try to make it longer, and maybe, dare we say it, crack open that Bible for a bit?

Have a great day in Christ!
