It is true that many of us are too busy. Our family schedules are jam-packed with activities. A week or a month flies by, and we are left wondering where it went. We find ourselves saying that we are too busy too often. It is easy to see that we can be so busy about all the wrong things. We can miss…

“Your words have been arrogant against Me, says the LORD. Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’ You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked in mourning before the LORD of hosts?’” (Mal. 3:13-14).
