Life gets busy as the time goes by. We started the busi-ness of life from kindy to primary school to high school then uni and then ended up in work where its for a lifetime until retirement age come. If you have been a christian for a while, there is a tendency to forget or ignore the message of the gospel so easily because we are busy with other things. It feels like we have no time for God because we have many other things that needs to be done as soon as possible.
Life has been busy for me these pasts few weeks primarily because i've been lazy with assignments thus i have to do them last minute. With exams coming up in slightly more than a month, life is not gonna get any easier/ less busy either. Too many things going on at the same time and its just so easy for me to forget the fact that I have salvation in Jesus and to live my life around it. Im too caught up with the things i have to do and i forget that my life is rely on Jesus.
Bible study, testimonies and sermons has been very helpful in reminding me that in Jesus i have life not in this world i have life! Last weekend at the women conference i was reminded that i should not be lazy to live a godly life because Jesus already paid for my ticket to escape. I shouldnt want to go back living ungodly life again because im no longer belong to it thus i should live out the new life i have in jesus.
Setting aside a time to reflet on God's word and seeing how he has been working in me is a great way to get me back on track not being caught up with all the things i have to do. Yes i still have to do my job but then my purpose in doing the job is different. I dont live to do my job but i live to make God's name known among people through doing the job i am given.
"Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
(2 Peter 1:10-11)
