Too many times we use being "busy" as an excuse. It seems to be the ultimate excuse for Americans. Whether it is to avoid responsibilities, spending time with friends, volunteering, living a healthier life, or spending time with God; we can seem to be too "busy" for these things.
In all truthfulness what do we call being "busy?" Could it be the television? Maybe it's the time we waste on the internet. Some people may even call it "me" time. I agree, sometimes those things are necessary. Truly though aren't those selfish excuses for not doing what is necessary or proper?
Other human beings are out there lonely, hurting, and needing help. Our heavenly Father beckons us to spend time with Him. Our friends are missing out on a relationship with us that could be vital in their life. So I urge you, next time you use the word "busy" check the context in which you are using it.
