The Devil Wants YOU Busy, Bound and Burnt Out challenges us to dig deep to see if we are burying our emotional pain or are we working for other reasons. God spoke one time and said You dont like it when your children assume anything and I dont like it when my children assume either. Building the temple was a good thing that David wanted to do, but the fact remained, God said NO! Now if God had no problem saying NO and we are made in the image and likeness of God, why cant we say it?
God wants us to have life and more abundantly but first we must learn when to say no regardless of our internal drive to keep busy. Yes, the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy our health, relationships and even our lives; but Jesus came to give us life and more abundantly. However, in order for us to receive HIS life, we must first discover why we go beyond the call of duty and do things God or even we intended to do. As you read, The Devil Wants YOU Busy, Bound and Burnt Out, I want you to think of these words:
Why do you do the things you do
Is a question that Im asking you
Do you do it to please the Master
Or is your hand reaching out
For the praise of men
Time and Again
If you are then your motives are wrong
So listen very carefully
To this little song
Who do you love?
The creature or Creator
Who do you love
The Giver or the gift
Which do you love?
The praise of men or Jesus
3 out of 6
Take your pick
In Whom and which do you love
