Just how busy can we keep Him?

     I have always heard the saying growing up that "idleness is the work of the devil". I am sure you have heard that too. I know from growing up and then from raising kids of my own that if you don't have something to do you will make up something to occupy your time. It is during these trivial moments that we have gotten into the most trouble. Idle time does do something to us. I can see now why dad was always coming up with things for me to do.
     Think about our spiritual life and how we have become so passive about our commitment to Christ. We sit by and allow other things to preoccupy our thoughts and actions. This idle time is the work of the devil. Satan is so good at bringing us to a point of comfort and contentment. Some of you may say, I am not idle, I go to church every time the doors are open. You fill your life with activity. This good activity but is it the best activity. However, for most it is "not doing anything" that has consumed your time.
     Lets pause for a moment and think about the difference we could make if we made a commitment to consume ourselves with the movement of God. We say with words we would like to have revival at our church. We utter the words that we are concerned about the world dying lost, but does it consume us. Is it something so important us that we can't get up off our knees. We are constantly talking to God about someone or about Him moving in a mighty way in the church you attend. We set intentional times in our week or month that we fast before God. We make a commitment to meet with others just to pray and fast. We join with them to hold each other accountable to each other and God.
     God is waiting....... If we don't find something for Him to do, He will go and work somewhere else.
Isaiah said, "You who call on the Lord,give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest til He establishes Jerusalem"... Wow!!! May it be our attitude that we are not going to allow God to rest. May our prayers and fasting keeps God so busy moving on the hearts of the lost people around us. We will be able to accomplish what God has called us to do, make disciples.
     Just how busy can we keep him?
