Busyness gets rewarded.
At work.
At church.
At home.
Some of us wear busyness as a badge of honor. We don’t want our kids to miss an opportunity, so we schedule them to the max. We’re busy from sunup to sundown and get by on coffee and energy drinks. We pledge to slow down when there’s a break in the action, but there’s never a break. Something always rushes in to fill the void.
The problem with that lifestyle is it’s unsustainable. We don’t live in God’s peace as we’re meant to. In John 10:10, Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
But what exactly does a full life look like?
Author Debra Fileta is joining me on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly to share how you can introduce godly rhythms into your life that will help you live life to the full. She explains how to care for your soul through:
- Nourishment.
- Rest.
- Connection.
- Protection.
- Savoring.
- Tuning in.
