Too Busy For God!
"For if these things are yours and abound,
you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1: 8
In his book Walking with God, Andrew Murray wrote,
“No knowledge of the air or the food around me can nourish me,
except it enters in my inward life. And no knowledge of the truths
of God can profit me, except as He, by His Spirit, enters into my
inmost being and dwells within me. It is with the heart I must wait
upon God. It is into the heart God will give His Spirit and every
spiritual blessing in Christ.”
Amid our business and busyness, we can mentally recall
we are Christians without indulging in that precious
fellowship that makes us one with Christ.
Our desire is to move toward Jesus, not away
from Him, but that takes waiting upon Him in
prayer, Bible study, quietness, and confidence.
Try to slow down a little bit today, and be still for a
few moments, enjoying the knowledge—the true
personal knowing—of the Lord Jesus Christ.
How incredible that He longs to meet with
us, but we’re too busy to take the time!
"I’m convinced that the man who has learned
to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run
on his feet and walk in His spirit."
Charles Stanley
