Does your schedule have you in its grip?
Yes, those forever full schedules and "to-dos"...sometimes it seems we'll never get a handle on them! And that's why I'd like to give you a very important tip today:
Make sure your "to-do" list doesn't have more of a grip on you than you have on it!
How do you do that? By slowing down and not always thinking about what else you could do to have "more." As you look at your life, what is your "more"?
Maybe you long to hear affirmations like "It's amazing what you’re accomplishing!" Or, out of your desire to be beautiful or handsome, are you always on the lookout for the latest diet or fitness program? Perhaps you're constantly shopping online because what you have is not enough.
If your life is always about yourself, you will go crazy. But if your heart is moved by what moves God, you will live with His peace and in His peace. "Be still," Psalm 46:10 says, "and know that I am God." (NKJV) We are told to slow down!
What if, instead of consuming our lives with the “mores” that matter little, we change our perspective and spend that time with the One who does matter? As you do this, do you know what Jesus wants for you? Freedom! What would it look like if we exchanged our selfishness for more time with Jesus and received the freedom that comes with that exchange?
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1, NIV)
Do you know what the dictionary definition of "yoke" is? "Something that weighs you down heavily." I'd encourage you to sort through your schedule…it may be that you need to seek a new definition of the "more" in your life!
It's worth it!!
You're a miracle!
