It’s so funny that the busier I get, the less I feel I have to talk about on this blog. I am amazed by some of the “super-bloggers” out there that can find 3, 4, or 20 things to post on their blog in one day, when I struggle to to get one.
Makes me wonder why I titled this “What God is teaching me today?” Am I just not listening to Him? Are there too many distractions? Yes. But how do we know what the good balance is between listening to God and going about the business He has lead us to do?
Right now, I have school, which I am in because I believe God is calling me to a career change. (and right now it is A LOT of schoolin’) I am involved in a ministry at our church (which I admittedly have not been as involved in that lately as I probably should be). I am coaching soccer, because I feel that is a great ministry/witnessing opportunity. I have my full-time job, which God have granted me to provide for my family. And, I have my wife and family, which God gave me. Add to that, family reunions, friend get-togethers, date nights, work around the house, etc…
Is it possible that God could give us too much to do for Him?
I Cor. 10:13 says God will not allow more temptation than we can handle. I believe the same goes for ministry and opportunities He leads us into. Our relationship with Him is His highest priority, as should be ours. And if we are slipping in that area, I believe God will arrange for that not to happen. If that means slowing down in school, so be it. If it means finding another ministry, so be it. If it means finding an new wife… ha ha, just kidding!
What do you think?
Phil. 4:19 – And my God will supply all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
