I am in the midst of what feels like an extremely busy week. It seems like every time I knock something off of my to-do list, 2 or 3 things are popping up to replace it. It is hard to maintain discipline in times like this. It is great to remember, though, the calling placed upon my life. God has called me to myself. I heard a great line from Crawford Lorritt’s sermon at the 2008 Desiring God Pastor’s Conference this AM. How this all applies to busyness is that God may be using this busy season in my calling as a means to sanctify me. Often, we divorce our calling and sanctification. We compartmentalize our lives. God may be using the unique features of our life, calling and busyness, though, as a means to draw us into a more holy expression of grace.
Don’t be too busy for Jesus. Use your busyness as a means to grow in grace.
