January 16, 2025 - In case you haven’t noticed, we are living in a world which is in a hurry. Sometime when you are in Wal-Mart or the Mall, observe how rushed and impatient people seem to be. Notice the furrowed brows, the faces lined with worry and anxiety, the haggard and hurried look. More than anything, notice the tenseness of the people around you. There often seems to be a tension on the verge of hysterics in the very atmosphere. The tempo of our lives has never been faster and the pressure of life has never been more intense than it is now. Truthfully, deep down in our hearts we know there is something fundamentally wrong about all of this and that God did not intend for life to be this way.
Truth be told, most people in our day and time are living life in such a hurry there is not time to even glance at God, much less to spend time contemplating Him. We need to take time. We need to take time to think. Most people are so busy living that they have no time to think about how they are living. Are we living in the will of God? Are we living the kind of life that God wants us to live? If our life is to be what it was meant to be, we need to take time to think.
We must also take time to pray. We need to take the time to speak to God, to tell Him the innermost feelings and longings of our heart. When we take the time to think, to think about God and take the time to pray, really pray and talk to God we will find life to be infinitely more livable and happy.
It’s something to think about... tbp
