As I prepare for another work week of squeezing the thousands of things that I need to accomplish into a five day gap, I contemplate “What next?” As I continued to ask the same rhetorical question, my list expanded. This question is really endless and can be very overwhelming. I am answering the question with more tasks, but really, what is next? How far or deep to I want to take it. What am I trying to prove? What goals just absolutely have to be accomplished? We all have a drive, and that is cool, but when does a normal drive, shift into ‘OVERDRIVE”?
Why is it that often when we get what we want, we still feel empty? We work so hard to succeed, but our lives just end up becoming more about us. I will tell you why, success is like lust, she’s good to the touch. She’s good for the moment, but she’s never enough. And everybody’s had her. And success can turn on you. Considering the current climate of our world, I know it is hard not to go into a mode of doing everything you can to protect what you already have and do everything utterly possible to survive. (The next survivor series should be Survivor: Corporate America Edition) But when do we say enough is enough. And at what point do we let faith and favor take over?
When David said that he never saw the righteous forsaken, this was an absolute. God doesn’t take care of us out of necessarily, but out of obligation. The examples that we are currently faced with are reality simply to make God’s obligation absolute truth. The Sabbath was man’s obligation to promote God’s responsibility. When we rest, when we let go, when we take a break, we are saying God I trust you with this, here you take over. So this next week, hustle hard when needed, but Sabbath when commanded and let God take over.
