Take Time To Reflect
"And they did not heed Moses because of shortness of breath and hard work." Ex 6:9
The children of
Israel were not able to listen to Moses because of the hard work that the Egyptians imposed on them. This was Pharaoh's
goal, that they loose hope by putting on them a staggering workload. This is the devil's favorite strategy. He
makes us very busy with many responsibilities so that we will be distracted from our true life purpose. If we would
spend a little time reflecting on our way of life, we would have second thoughts as to our conduct and we would find a way
to better ourselves. So the Evil one finds more distractions and more headaches to keep our focus off of what's really
important in life.
Let's set aside some time to reflect. While in the car, let's leave off all radios and tape
decks for a few minutes each day and think about our priorities and values. Or use the time at home when all is quiet
or right before we go to bed. We will be amazed at how good we feel when taking time for spiritual growth.
