TOO BUSY

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

Matthew 6: 33, 34 King James Version

Have you ever told someone “Don’t worry about it”? That is what Jesus is telling us in these verses. He is saying we have enough problems today without worrying about the problems of tomorrow. I used to be terrible about worrying if I was going to have money to buy enough groceries. I’m still in the same financial place that I was then, but it doesn’t bother me anymore because I have fallen in love with Jesus. My only desire in this world is to make Him happy.

There is a lady that I have known for over ten years and she only calls me if I leave a message for her to call me. Someone said that she is too busy and has too many responsibilities to call people. I submit to you that Jesus was busier than anyone will ever be, yet He took the time to talk to people. If Jesus could take time for us, how much more should we take time for others.

If we will put Jesus first in our jobs, our families, and in our friendships, He will take care of us. Sometimes we try to do things in our own strength, and without Jesus we are powerless. It is like trying to drive a car that doesn’t have any gas. Jesus is the fuel of our lives. He is the one who gives the victory in every situation.

Are you too busy and you feel that you just don’t have the time to call or write people? If so, ask Jesus if you need to rearrange your schedule and your priorities. If we will put Jesus first in everything, He will never fail us. He deserves to be happy.
