Corrie ten Boom once wrote, “If the devil cannot make us bad, he will make us busy.”3 Be they relational, occupational, or church responsibilities, we are each faced with a thousand daily choices about what we will and will not give our time and energy to. Because we often do not take time to establish boundaries, we constantly catch ourselves defaulting to yes. Think of it this way: every yes takes a little space out of our lives. Soon, after a thousand yeses, we find ourselves exhausted and marginless.
