“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…” — Matthew 6:33
Being “busy” has almost become our automatic answer when someone asks how we’re doing.
And I’ll admit it….I’m one of the first ones to say it. “I’m so busy.” Horses to ride, stalls to clean, clients to answer, feed to put out, pastures to tend…there is always something else that needs done.
But lately I’ve been thinking…is being busy always something to be proud of?
We wouldn’t expect a horse to grow, learn, and get stronger without putting intentional time into them. You can’t rush through their training once in a while and expect a solid foundation. It takes consistency. It takes showing up. It takes making the time.
Our relationship with Christ is no different.
If I can make time for one more horse, one more chore, one more message, one more thing on my list…am I making time to sit down, open my Bible, pray, and spend time with Him?
There will always be something that needs done. Maybe the goal isn’t to become less hardworking…but to make sure we aren’t so busy building everything else that we neglect the foundation everything is built on.
