Peruse the generic doxycycline for dogs internet for a while and you will find many blogs, articles and generic doxycycline for dogs even books on how to simplify your life.
We live in a fast paced, activity filled culture. Our time is generic doxycycline for dogs full of activities, even our church calendars are jam packed with fun, family friendly things to generic doxycycline for dogs do.
Most of what we fill our days with are good things.
But good does not equal God.
- If your generic doxycycline for dogs to-do list makes you want to pull the covers back over your generic doxycycline for dogs head, you may be too busy.
- If you generic doxycycline for dogs give up sleep time to get more accomplished, you may be generic doxycycline for dogs too busy.
- If you are stressed out and irritable, you may be too busy.
- If you cringe when the phone rings, you may be too busy.
- If you generic doxycycline for dogs think you will lose your mind if one more thing gets added to generic doxycycline for dogs your plate, you may be too busy.
And you are not alone. We live in a society that values accomplishment and results. I wage this war in my own heart often!
Busyness can easily be used by the enemy as a distraction tactic. Few things are generic doxycycline for dogs more useless to Kingdom work than an unfocused, buzzing all-around-but-rarely-landing-on anything busy-bee believer.
Have you ever said “yes” to generic doxycycline for dogs something or made a commitment without taking the time to generic doxycycline for dogs ask God if you should? Oh, my have I learned this lesson the hard way, friends! Here is what the Bible warns us in Proverbs 20:25:
“It is generic doxycycline for dogs a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to generic doxycycline for dogs consider his vows” (NIV) and I really like how the Message version says it– “An impulsive vow is a trap; later you’ll wish you could get out of it”.
I am sure we can each recall times that we let “yes” roll of our tongue, knowing daggone well that we didn’t have generic doxycycline for dogs the time, energy or desire to add one more thing to generic doxycycline for dogs our list.
There are many good things bidding for our time. If we spend our days filled with good things {activities, charity, etc.} yet neglect our relationship with God and/or generic doxycycline for dogs the things He has actually called us to do, we are generic doxycycline for dogs in danger of missing the whole point of being in relationship with Him.
It is like shooting arrows and narrowly missing the bulls eye. We think we are generic doxycycline for dogs shooting well because we are so close, yet in reality we are generic doxycycline for dogs far from where God desires us to be.
How can we keep good from getting in the way of God? Here are a few things I try to keep in mind:
- Is this obligation {activity, recreation, commitment, volunteer opportunity, etc} in line with God’s Word? Does it pass the Philippians 4:8 test?
- Have I prayed about this?
- Do I have peace about my decision?
- What will the impact be on my family?
- Will the world end if I say no?
You may laugh at number five but there was a generic doxycycline for dogs time in my life when I thought that I had generic doxycycline for dogs to take on everything because if I didn’t who would? This is a trap of the enemy, based in pride. What I realized was that by saying “yes” to every good thing that came my way, I was actually getting in the generic doxycycline for dogs way of someone else doing what God had for them to generic doxycycline for dogs do. Stealing their blessing, in a way.
It is okay to say no. To simplify the generic doxycycline for dogs family calendar, the work schedule, the volunteer duties is to clean the generic doxycycline for dogs heart. And, a generic doxycycline for dogs clean heart hears the whisper of the Holy Spirit much clearer than generic doxycycline for dogs a cluttered, busy heart does.
Our time here is a gift. We only get 1, 440 minutes a day. Spend those minutes wisely. Spend them on God things.
What is generic doxycycline for dogs a good thing that may need to be cleared out of your generic doxycycline for dogs life to make room for God?
