Last week was manic for me as I rushed to get a big assignment done on top of normal life. This week so far has had little space either, and now I'm at Baptist Assembly for 3 full on days of "people overload" - actually that's not too bad since I'm a people person - however it does mean a growing list of "stuff" to do next week.
For many of us life is full on. We struggle to get everything done. We have responsibilities and feel pressured by the seemingly never ending demand. Even so, sometimes I find myself thankful for times like this...I know, it sounds strange, but busy times often give me the "wakeup" call I need to step back and just be with God. To take a deep breath and find strength in his presence.
For a lot of us the upcoming Christmas "silly season" will be a challenge in this regard. I just want to encourage you before it really hits: Let this time drive you into God's presence! Let yourself be strengthened and empowered by His grace and mercy! Let His Holy Spirit minister to your spirit - life and light. Let your joy be found in Him!
What are you waiting for? You could start in Psalm 43.
Grace and Peace, Pastor David Auty
