Last week I was with pastors from around the St. Louis metro area. While talking about our people, we discovered one of the greatest challenges people face is busyness.
"People's schedules are horrendous." "Everyone is over-committed." "No one has extra time." Being too busy is a major issue in our fast-paced society. There are more demands on people than ever before. And it's leading to stress, depression, divorce, burnout, and health issues. So what do you do if you're too busy? Martin Luther's theology of vocation is all about setting priorities. Here's how you can begin to set clear priorities and defend against unhealthy busyness.

"Everybody sees how you seem. Some know who you really are." In a world of posing, posturing, and posting, we have a million ways to put up a front. From our clothes to our profiles, we present ourselves as we want people to see us. But the reality behind the mask is very different.
Who sees behind the curtain? Who knows the real you . . . and still loves you? Who knows about your blemishes and still wants to stay with you? The first One is your God. The rest are gifts from God. The dearest friends. The parents. The spouses. The loved ones that God has placed in your life to know and love who you really are. Prov. 17:17 |
