Daily Devotional: May 11 – Slow Down

Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance – Psalm 89:15

Busy with this and busy with that! Today, everybody seems to be busy with something. Is busyness really from God? God’s instruction to man in the garden was for man to be fruitful. Now, just because we are busy does not mean we are being fruitful. Consider that even the hamster on a wheel is busy running, but he is busy running to nowhere! The hamster on a wheel wastes a lot of energy without making any progress! To be fruitful does not require never-ending activity but requires that we do the right things at the right time. Busyness can be a distraction from the enemy that he uses as a tactic for our destruction. This is because the busier we are, the less we pay attention to the sound of the voice of God. But blessed are those who hear the joyful sound of God when He speaks. Those who hear His voice and heed it will walk in His power and grace and experience the joys of walking with Him.

Sometimes the best addition is a good subtraction
