About 6 in 10 Christians say that it's "often" or "always" true that "the busyness of life gets in the way of developing my relationship with God." Christians most likely to agree were from North America, Africa and Europe. By country, Christians in South Africa, Nigeria, Canada, Singapore, Ireland, Philippines, the United States, and the United Kingdom, are more distracted from God, respectively, than those in other countries.
Scripture:
Isaiah 32:6
For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with evil: He practices ungodliness and spreads error concerning the LORD; the hungry he leaves empty and from the thirsty he withholds water.
Isaiah 32:6 talks about being too busy to hear the Lords word that we are abandoning our faith, and those who we can serve through faith: “the hungry he leaves empty and from the thirsty he withholds water.”
Over the last month, I’ve felt extremely overwhelmed with classes, work, relationships, etc. We all can relate. However, after reading this verse, I realized that I’ve been so busy, that I am putting the most important thing last: becoming so preoccupied that I am missing the opportunities that God has presented for me. There are opportunities out there for all of us to experience, but often enough, we miss them because we are too busy. I feel that if we just take a moment or two to reflect on what the Lord is trying to tell us, all of the other things will fall in place. It is human nature that we pre-occupy ourselves, to try to fulfill our lives; however, if we don’t reflect on what God is trying to tell us, we may be filling our lives with useless things. I encourage you to stop and look for the moments God may be presenting to you, or you may just be missing out what is really important in life.
