If Satan can't make me bad, he'll make me busy

I once heard a preacher say, "If Satan can't make you bad, he'll make you busy. How these words have rung true to me this week. My compulsive obsessiveness was shining brighter than sunshine on snow. My mornings were filled with what to wear, which purse should I use; or maybe backpack. Each time I went to sit down to read the Word and pray something would enter into my mind and I would run with it. Cleaning up the kitchen, pick up the dining room. Oh, and then of course I have to walk the dog before I head to work. In the back of my mind I could hear my thoughts telling me to just sit down and spend time with my heavenly father; if I do this He always make time for what is important to get done. What I may believe is important may not be so important after all. The kitchen can wait and it really doesn't matter what purse or backpack I use for that day. If I get honest with myself, the most important three things are: Take a shower, (my co-workers will appreciate this), Walk the dog and spend quality time with God in His word and prayer. Not in that order necessarily. When I don't listen to the words of wisdom I started with, I leave for work remorseful that I hadn't given my Heavenly Father the time due Him. Just think. Suppose God said, "Cathie, I know you need time with me, but I am just too busy with other things that are more important to me." I would be devastated. And I believe God feels sadness when I too say by my actions, "God, I know I should spend time with you, but I am busy with these other things." Spending quiet time with our Lord isn't for His benefit; but for mine. It is a time I spend reminding myself how much I need Gods help each day. How important His word is to know so I can use it when struggling with something that day. Resting in God isn't just for the Sabbath day rest, it is for daily sabbaths throughout the day for me whenever I am agitated, fearful or just plain self-centered.So, the week is just about over and now the real question is; how important is God to me? How important is His word in my life? I guess I will see in the next few days. Will Satan continue to make me busy? Or will I rely on Him who is stronger?
