COULD IT BE YOU'RE HOLDING YOURSELF BACK FROM GREATNESS?

Sometimes I find myself so busy, inundated with tasks and activities that I have created for myself. Then I find myself complaining that I don't have enough me time, or not enough family time. It wasn't until my husband pointed out to me one day that I was the one who created this that I realized just as easily as I created the problem I could find the solution.

In today's world between working, raising families, nurturing extracurricular activities, and starting our own businesses we don't have time for the most important things. Life was not always this full of things that needed to be tended to. But as society changes it's almost like we have a mindset that tells us if we aren't doing something, then something's wrong.

That's simply not true. Filling our lives with so much "stuff," keeps us too tired, worn out, stressed out, and drug down to enjoy the life we were designated to have. It keeps us from enjoying the peace we need, and rather has us chasing after that next "extra something."

This is simply no more than the enemy keeping you so busy that you don't have time for God. It's a trick from the enemy to keep you out of God's Presence and from keeping you from spending time with Him.

When you spend time with God, you are empowered, strengthened, and refreshed. When you're so busy that all you do is rush through spending time with Him, you don't have time to be built up, empowered, restored, and strengthened. Instead you start finding more and more excuses to stay away from Him, which takes you away from who you are and the greatness you have to offer the world. It takes away from your unique gifts that He wants to nurture and polish.

Communicating with God can occur in that one-on-one time you spend with Him in that private room at home. It can occur on your daily drive to work, or while you're doing laundry. There are so many opportunities to speak with Him throughout the day, that He never has to be neglected.

Find that time to get alone with Him, to spend time in His word, and in His presence praying. He will strengthen, empower and nurture you. He will give you what you need to have a balanced, plenteous, and successful life, and to be prosperous in all your ways. He will implant in you those seeds of greatness you need to live a thriving and abundant life.
