Isn't this how we feel sometimes? We are so busy and fill our days with events that we feel that we are drowning by it. We place such great value in these events, concern ourselves with the logistics, and eventually either feel frustrated with not enough time or eventually not enjoy the event itself. This is exactly what the enemy wants us to be... too busy to enjoy life for what God has given us. When we are too busy, we are fatigued, and when we are fatigued we let out guard down, and when we let our guard down we invite trouble.
We especially invite trouble when our fatigue takes us away with our time with the Lord. It is through God's strength that we can accomplish the things we are requested to. There will be times when we are filled with overwhelming work to accomplish. However, if our focus is on Him and we rely on His strength, then it will be accomplished and more importantly we will enjoy the work without any worries. However, let us also caution ourselves to not do as the Psalmist speak of. Let us not walk "into the deep waters" that ill "engulf" us. Let us pace ourselves as well. It is always better to have one enjoyable event than to have three dull event. How does it feel when we are fatigued and had an overall dull day? What if we are fatigued, but had a joyous day? Regardless of what we do, small or large, if we give it to Him and enjoy what we do, our life will be filled with accomplishments we can be proud of.
Let us therefore do the work that God has intended us, and rely on Him for guidance and strength. Let us also prioritize the events that we would want accomplished, and enjoy it as we work on these. Let us enjoy every work that we do whether it is small or big. In doing so, it is easy to seek Him and walk with Him.
"Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." (Psalm 51:12)
