Did you know that no matter how busy you are the Lord promises you that HIs grace is sufficient for today?
This is a truth that the enemy does not like us to know, or remember.

Last night I was at our worship leader’s monthly gathering where we pray for one another and seek God for our church.
Lynn exhorted us not to be too busy; not to allow ourselves to fill our heads with things and people to the exclusion of Christ.

This morning, busyness was the theme of my ‘word for today’. Is God trying to say something to me??! I copy it here wholesale for you to dwell on too.

“The word busy is used only once in Scripture: ‘While I was busy doing something else, the prisoner disappeared!’ (1 Kings 20:40) In this story, God judges someone for forgetting what’s important and taking their eye off the ball. In 1992, Fortune magazine featured ‘The biggest business goofs of 1991′. In an act of corporate cooperation, AT&T reached an agreement with Con Edison, the power company in New York City. The contract stated that whenever power demands exceeded the utilities’ grid, AT&T would lessen their demands on the electric utility by throwing a switch, unplugging some of its facilities, and drawing power from internal generators at its 33 Thomas Street station in Lower Manhattan. On September 17, AT&T acted in accordance with its agreement. But when AT&T’s own generators kicked in, the power surge kicked out some of their vital rectifiers which handled 4.5 million domestic calls, 470,000 international calls, 1,174 flights across the nation carrying 85,000 passengers, and the total communications systems linking air traffic controllers at La Guardia, Kennedy and Newark airports. It was a giant mess! The alarm bells at the 33 Thomas Street station rang unheeded for six hours. Why? Because the AT&T personnel in charge of the rectifiers were away – attending a one-day seminar on how to handle emergencies! The Bible says, ‘Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour’ (1 Peter 5:8 NLT). If satan can’t ‘devour’ you with a frontal assault, he’ll settle for diverting you with things that ultimately don’t matter. So, don’t get diverted.”

May you know what sends you off track today.
