Simplicity

"Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

The following are common words people often used to describe their life:
busy, hectic, chaotic, frantic, stressful, never a quiet moment!

See as Americans we live in a fast pace society that goes, and goes, and goes. We have been taught that the more we take on and the more we get accomplished determines how successful we are. In America it has become a since of pride to be busy and stressed out all the time- It means your working hard. It is what our society defines as success, But in God's eyes it is only "Worldly Success."

God was a busy man with many many things to do, and many people to please-as are all of us. Being busy is not a negative thing- its being stressed and overwhelmed that God doesn't want.
If you are constantly doing and never have a quite moment you will miss the presence of God.

"Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." -psalms 90:12
