We must practice slowing down and focusing on our priorities rather than allowing every urgent demand to rob us of time, energy, and peace. In Ecclesiastes we’re told, “Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind” (4:6 NIV). In a world where we’re constantly told to do more, have more, and go for more, we must remember that less—with God—is always better.
