Many of us are so busy busy busy doing good works, but we are out of order or not aligned to God's perfect will.
Even I myself have gone down pathways that produced nothing but pain and consequences.
I don't want to miss at all again.
The time is really short, the years go by so quickly and our focus should really be on increasing the Kingdom. Even the very gifts we have should be used to give God glory.
The root cause of why we may waste time or become "misaligned" could be connected to lack of knowledge.
I counselled someone recently and she has gotten so busy, constantly answering her phone and sorting matters in her community. Yet she is wondering why she she is always feeling so weary. She doesn't even have time to spend in God's presence anymore, yet she is on retirement.
I reminded her though there were throngs of people around Jesus only the one who reached out in faith was healed.
Mark 5
And a great crowd followed him and (Q)thronged about him.25 And there was a woman (R)who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years,26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse.27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment.28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.”29 (S)And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her (T)disease.30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that (U)power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?”31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”32 And he looked around to see who had done it.33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth.34 And he said to her, “Daughter, (V)your faith has made you well; (W)go in peace, and be healed of your (X)disease
So many around Jesus with needs but only the one in faith was healed. Ministers do not weary yourself with those who want miracles but they do not want God and his ways.
In lack of knowledge we may tend to take on everyone's burden. Stop and ask God to free you of this mindset
Amen
Also consider this
If the fruit and by product of your days are stress and weariness then look again - your choices are not aligned to God's perfect will. His will brings peace.
Think about the stupid mistakes and bad choices we made, totally out of God's will, most times with good intentions, but we just did not know God's will and ways at that stage of our Christian walk
Let's realign ourselves today to God's perfect not permissive will.
If you have made certain choices because of lack of knowledge and the cycle keeps going on and on. Then it is not too late to ask God for knowledge.
Proverbs 18:15
15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge
Revelation knowledge from God will keep us aligned to his perfect will.
We will "flow" out of the place of abiding in his presence, striving will be absent. We may be physically tired, but not wearied (there is a difference) but we will be fulfilled because whatever we did came from God, increased the Kingdom and gave God glory
Amen
Get knowledge my friends in that place we will not fall into the enemy's pitfall of distraction or stagnation. Don't move until you hear clearly from God. We will be effective for God's Kingdom and we will fulfill all our purpose and walk in destiny in Jesus name
Amen
