BEEN BUSY

“He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters”
-Matt 12:30

Been Busy? I get it. “That’s life,” right?

Is it?

Maybe you’re saying, “Excuse me? I don’t understand the question.”

Is “busy” life? Let me rephrase. Is “life” in our busyness? In the striving? In the endless string of day-after-day-after-day of self-determined “critical” content therein?

Think back to last month or last year... the last decade... with all the “critical” stuff going on each day we must be knocking “life” out of the park! Right?

That said, what have you truly accomplished? Eaten lots of food. Paid lots of bills. Mowed the grass. Gone to Disney. Watched TV. Read some stuff. Done laundry or maybe dishes... or not. Maybe a big project or promotion at work? Raised kids who will repeat that same “critical” cycle?

But in one-hundred years will any of it truly matter? What about in five years? Five months? Five minutes?

Is it our Creator’s objective conception of “life” that you’re engaging in, or merely your subjective interpretation and improvisation?

Where do you see Christ truly manifest in your “life?” Has He been the wellspring and resurrection ALIVE in you? Or has He been merely a “religious thing” you do from time-to-time when your “life,” (which amounts to your pursuits and priorities) gets put on hold?

Is it still “your life” or is it really His? Do you see the King and His kingdom in EVERYTHING? Are you glorifying Him in all things, at all times, forever?

How far did the kingdom advance this week because of you and your service IN THE BODY? How far through your prayer, “Christ be revealed in and through me!” How far through your humility? How far in your decreasing and Him increasing? How far in your dying to self and considering others more important for Him and His eternal glory?

How busy have you been about the business of the King and His kingdom vs busy with “your life?”

“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not speak in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers!’”
-Jesus

Been busy?
