Busy is an external action, hurried is the internal emotion.
“Hurry” is the great enemy of our ability to be purposeful, present, and productive.
The problem is not what you’re doing, it’s how you’re doing it.
When we allow God to reveal the priority, we re-arrange our lives according to His purpose.
Discussion Questions:
1) What is one thing that you can do this Christmas to be fully present – busy, but not hurried?
2) Think of a time in your life when you were TOO hurried to be fully present – how did that affect the situation? What did you miss out on?
3) Write down the questions, “HOW am I doing what I’m doing?” and “WHY am I doing what I’m doing?” Begin to pray that God would allow you to be fully present this Christmas (and in the future) when you are busy. That you will remember the purpose that He has given you in the midst of your busy lives.
