Are we just doing too much?

This is a busy world . . . for adults and teens alike. But maybe, just maybe we are just doing too much! I is a question we must ask ourselves now and then. When we find ourselves with no time to spend with family . . . . not enough time to sit down to eat . . . . not enough time for exercise . . . . not enough time to sleep we should . . . . not enough time for God . . . . well maybe we need to ask:

Are we just doing too much?

Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” (Mark 4:18-20)

In the parable of the sower, Jesus explains what can happen to those who hear the word but are not focused upon it. Busyness can choke it out and we forget about things of God. Those who take time for the Lord and make Him a priority are fruitful for God.

Where are we today? Let's make some adjustments as we ask the question: Are we just doing too much?
