An interesting Thought.

Sometimes Things never work out how we think they are going to. We may have an understanding on what to do. we may have an idea on how to do them. The only thing id what we do with that. if we take that knowledge and pass it on to others and they improve themselves that is great. this is easy to do. but if e don't put the same things into practice ourselves we just become hypocrites. knowledge without action id useless, it becomes nothing. We all need to stop and think.

I like this article from the Word For Today a Christian daily devotional I read from time to time.

Are You Too B-U-S-Y?

'...that Satan might not outwit us...' 2 Corinthians 2:11 NIV

Addressing a worldwide convention of demons, Satan told them: 'As long as Christians stay close to God we've no power over them, so:
(1) Keep them busy with non-essentials.
(2) Tempt them to overspend and go into debt.
(3) Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles.
(4) Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there's no refuge from work.
(5) Overstimulate their minds with television and computers so that they can't hear God speaking to them.
(6) Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines so they've no time for Bible reading.
(7) Flood their letter boxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich-quick schemes; keep them chasing material things.
(8) Put glamorous models on TV and on magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearances; that way they'll be dissatisfied with themselves and their mates.
(9) Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way they'll be tempted to look elsewhere.
(10) Emphasise Santa and the Easter Bunny; that way you'll divert them from the real meaning of the holidays.
(11) Involve them in 'good' causes so they won't have any time for 'eternal' ones.
(12) Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of God's power working through them. Do these twelve things faithfully. I promise–it'll work!'

Have you figured out the difference between being busy and being successful in what God's called you to do? Sometimes being B-U-S-Y just means Being Under Satan's Yoke!

This article really made me think about what we are doing in life and how these thins can distract us from what we all are meant to be doing.
