Took this from Matt Chandler's email this week. Liked it so much, I wanted to share. I am incredibly good at filling my day with busy-ness and dwelling on things that take away from the joy and peace that He wants to give me.
Psalm 103:15-16 says "As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more." Life is short. I don't think that is news to anyone but read it again this way: your life is short. With life moving so fast I don't want to get caught up in things that rob me of the fullness of life Christ came to bring. I want to guard my heart against bitterness, anger, deceit, and I want to chase after deep, meaningful, life-giving, dangerous things. I think this is what Jesus was talking about in John 10:10 when He said He came to "bring life to the full." My prayer for you and me this week is that we wouldn't waste our short lives on silly things but rather spend our lives on things that matter. - Matt Chandler
