Our world runs at a breakneck speed! Busyness seems to be both the universal complaint and the modern badge of honor. Our jobs demand huge chunks of our lives and many other admirable pursuits clamor for our time. Even children seem to careen from one activity to the next. Plus, as Christians we know we should be involved with our church! So we try to fit it all in, and our calendars become full, and we get less and less sleep. We hope that our constant activity will achieve success, honor, security—maybe even God’s glory—but as we scurry to the next appointment we think, “How can I get off this treadmill! Is this the way God wants me to live?”
