I know I don't hold any exclusive claim on busyness in life. In fact, the lack of time, lack of energy, lack of money, lack of joy, lack of you name it pervades everything in our culture. We have tried to fill the waking moments with activity to drive the need to be socially acceptable, hard-working people. After all God helps those that help themselves, right? WRONG! (George Barna conducted a poll and 90% of people thought that was a verse in the Bible....IT IS NOT!)
The Psalmist writes, "We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name." (Psalm 33:20-21) In a world devoid of any margin (term used by Swenson in his book by the same title) the only way to recapture the margin that has been robbed from our lives and many times willfully given away in vain pursuits, is through the Lord's help. We must refocus our spiritual attention on the values of the Bible and seek a deeper pursuit of God Himself.
