Overwhelmed by this world and its demands?
So many things to see and do
So many responsibilities
Life goes so fast
There are only so many hours in a day
How do we slow down?
How do we keep Jesus front and center in our lives when there is so much demand of us, of our time of our resources, emotionally physically, financially?
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said,
How long halt ye between two opinions?
if the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him.
And the people answered him not a word. 1 Kings 18:21
It is all part of living in this world
Time seems to be going faster, accelerating
Depending on our cultural background,
we might value different things than other people
Either way, we are encouraged in the Word of God
to set our affections on the things in the heavenly realm
Nurturing and nourishing our growth in the Lord
Loving others and pleasing God
Keeping our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
