Combatting Hurry Sickness
From time to time we will add "pdf" files we hope you will find useful to combat "hurry sickness", which I define as the state of continual motion trying unsuccessfully to achieve several goals that do not come from God. In the process of doing these tasks, folks neglect God, family, health, and comment frequently on their busyness. They see a lack of time rather than them as the issue mainly because they forget busy is a good state, a blessing, that means merely, occupied with the mind concentrated.
Hurry sickness prevails among church folks doing church stuff exactly as it does among unchurched folks doing secular work. Both groups ignore two key parameters: First, 24 hours are available to everyone each day; no more no less. Second, daily, nobody can do everything others expect from him or her, and everything he or she would like to do. So each of us must choose daily what to neglect and whom to disappoint, and with the help of God's Holy Spirit, proactively manage the effects. I refer to this on going process in Managing God's Time as "Selective Neglect.”
We pray you will accept your fallibility, dispensability, the 24 hour day, surrender your life to Messiah Jesus, and turn to Him daily to guide you.
