It goes against our culture! "Get all you can get; Be all you can be!" Even in our religious circles we're taught to work, work, work - give, give, give! Overload?
Could it be that this is not what God desires at all. I believe that God wants all of us! Every single part! I believe that He wants & deserves the very best we have to give - only - at what HE's called us to! He has not called us to please people, to pick up loads that are to heavy. Why do we do it? To prove our own strength, to be pleasers of men, for our own pleasure? That's not what He's called us too. He has called us to a life of separation - even from the thoughts & mind sets of this world! To be focused on His calling & His purpose! We must set aside every weight that keeps us from sitting at His feet listening to His every word! Focused completely on His desires. All effort, strength, vision, must be placed in His calling! That His will might be accomplished!
"And give my son Solomon an uncluttered and focused heart so that he can obey what you command, live by your directions and counsel,
and carry through with building The Temple for which I have provided."
1Chron. 29:19
