Our greatest and most destructive sin may just be “being busy.” It is robbing us of the moments right in front of us. We have to learn to resist the anxious momentum of the world. We need to see quietness and rest as our salvation. Christ is our rest, our peace. He is the gaps and moments of our days. He is there to free us from the exhaustion, to direct our passions and lives. If we let our minds be consumed and abused by the world’s stuff, we will lose our ability to know God and show him to the world and our families.
