4 Things I Choose Not To Do... (Part 4)

This week I will be blogging over 4 choices is making in not choosing them (hope that makes sense. I believe that by sometimes choosing what you will not do has greater influence in what you choose to do)

4. I choose not to let the WORK of God overpower my RELATIONSHIP with God.

There is a tendency in us to believe that just because we are doing means we are making progress. In fact, some of us have gained promotions and bonuses because we have mastered the art of looking busy over being productive. I believe there is a danger in us all (especially those in full time ministry) in allowing the WORK of the ministry become the god of our lives.

We can get so busy that we remove the work of God from our lives. Granted most times I feel this is accidental. Other times we are avoiding some uncomfortable things He is challenging us to do. We mask our fear with our busyness thinking that we can fool the Creator of the universe.

It is an impossible task to follow God and your agenda. That is why today I am working hard and not working on things that will overpower the whispers and shouts of my Heavenly Father.

Heart and Soul,
