In my busy life I sometimes have a startling thought: Have I been too busy for Heavenly Father today? It’s easy for me to get caught up in all the things I “need to do” with 5 kids and my husband’s busy life: meals, laundry, dishes (again), school lessons, cleaning, etc. etc. Let alone creative time to write or paint or draw in my sketchbook! Sometimes there are days when I have been too busy and the overwhelm is real. If you ever have those days too, know you’re not alone! And let this be a reminder to us both to remember God a little more tomorrow.
Have you been too busy for God today?
Too busy to talk to him?
Too busy to fall down on bended knee –
Seek help through the thick and the thin?
Too busy to do what he needed from you?
Too busy for someone in need?
Too busy to see how he blesses you?
Too busy to spiritually feed?
Too busy for reasons that you are here –
To learn and to grow just like Him.
Too busy to pause, to reflect, and to know
Or notice His Spirit within?
Too busy to care for the young and the weak –
All those who need someone like you?
Instead, only thinking of money or fame –
The things of the world you pursue?
If this is the case, then don’t be surprised
When someday you need His return
And He doesn’t respond as quick as you want
Since He was never that much your concern.
While he waits in the wings before he can give
Since your heart never really sought His.
And you never tried very much to care
Or make your life at all include His.
So, take the time now to say a quick prayer
And set your priorities straight.
Get back on the path that God wants for you
That always leads straight to His Gate.
