DDay -2

absorption level: low
frustration level: high

busy? busy busy?

Ps gave an intuitive sermon on saturday on the busyness of today's people. in a culture of speed, we busy ourselves with more things at a faster pace, till many of us use 'busy' as the reason/excuse to not go out of our way. or even be engrossed in less important, ignoble things.

of the many things that we were blessed with- this one i will carry for a long while more: a reminder that, of the blessings that you say are from God, they won't be drawing you away from God. (well, unless you take God's blessings and turn on him?)

that really made me think and reflect on the past and the past year for a while. on the surface, not really. nothing clear cut, or a gold mine that dropped on my car. (thus giving me the excuse to buy another one for my uncle then my dad then myself.) and i went on thinking, yeah, i'm cool with it rite jesus?

-then- i realized that i've had an all time low in 'consistent communication' for the past few years. the enthusiasm, devotions, prayers. it was sometimes, oh, what being prayed for by the pastor now. or intense moments when there is something to be prayed for. but the consistency? *thumbs down pffffft*

you see, things have gotten busier. and i got busier with them. some of us equate more work with more play: my lecturer in foundation said to me, work hard? play harder! and with the constraints of mental capacity and 24 hours a day, where's the time for God? shrinking, shrinking, and someday, maybe gone.

so are ye busy? BUSY busy? or just nah-i'm-ok-but-lazy-inconvenient-go-without-me-lar-busy.



today's TotD is from Joshua 24:15 and its a vivid reminder to myself. yeah. if not God? who else dei?

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15, NIV)
