We are living in such a serious time...
People are so stretched as they run about to jobs, to school, to family, to sporting events, to meetings, to social gatherings, busily filling every day and week in a flurry of activities. They are caught up in schedules, maybe of their own choosing, or of necessity, or perhaps imposed by others.
But sometimes these activities and schedules can become places of "hiding" from something we need to face or need to do, or from something which would cause change or take us out of our comfort zones. Busyness can become a facade, or a point of pride ("Look at all the things I am doing..."). It is sometimes like "Charades"... a game people play. We may fool those around us, or even fool ourselves for a time, but we can't fool God. Some may be caught in this unwittingly, for it is deceptive. It is an enemy trap to distract God's people.
We are living in a time of urgency. God wants us to break free from any "games" we may be playing. This is a time to re-order our lives in accordance with His tenets and His Word, and to become transparent before Him. He will lead and guide us carefully as we focus on Him and purpose to stay within His covering.
"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Ephesians 5:16 KJV
