1 Kings 8:10-11- "When the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Lord’s Temple. The priests could not continue their work because the Temple was filled with the Glory of the Lord."
What is occupying your time today? Are you consumed in busyness or are you really handling business? Solomon had the Ark of the Covenant moved into the place dedicated for it in the Temple at Jerusalem. The priests performed their ritual duties and the scripture tells us that they sacrificed so many oxen and sheep they could not count them. Once the Ark of the Covenant was in place, God's glory filled the Holy Temple such that the priests could not continue to perform their "rituals".
We ask God to be with us, to guide and help us; we pray constantly - but When God is near why are we too busy to receive him? Martha did the same thing when Jesus came to visit. Mary sat at his feet to bask in his glory but Martha was too busy prepping to serve him rather than being available to 'serve' him. Don't let the spirit of busyness distract you from focusing on the real business of your purpose. Whether at work or during our daily routines do not let the devilish need to busy ourselves cause us to lose focus!
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
