"But I trust in
you, O LORD; I say, You are my God. My times are in your hands; deliver me
from my enemies and from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me
in your unfailing love."
I am reading a book for Bible study called "Boundaries, How to Say
No." I enjoy being involved, committed and "busy." I began this reading
thinking I was in control, that I was saying yes only to those tasks I wanted to do.
But I was wrong. As I evaluated where my time is spent, I realized that
I havent allowed time to deepen my relationship with God.
I am now reviewing my obligations and have begun a "weeding
out" process. I am setting dates of when I will complete tasks and free up time to
better serve my Lord.
I must plan time to study the Bible, use the gifts he has blessed me
with, and most importantly, to have quiet time to listen.
