The lost art of doing nothing

Have we forgotten how to live?
Our lives in quiet contemplation?
Forgotten how to relax & evaluate?
These crazy times in which we live?
In all these crowded nations?
Do we really understand how to?
Just turn off all the jumbled messages?

Speaking of the time just before Jesus returns the Bible predicts
"Many will go here & there to increase knowledge"
Just like a train station at rush hour
People hurrying everywhere: tuning out
From God's instructions: we are part of this rat race
God says "Be still & know that I am God!" Psalm 46:10

Socrates once said "An unexamined life is not worth living
In examining our own lives: examining our relationships with God
And getting to know Him better: all require time!
By being less busy & reclaiming the lost art of doing nothing!"

So put your phone down
Go for a leisurely walk
Chew your food slowly
Pray: ask God to help you relax
Keep the Sabbath
Get outside & get closer to God!
