Push 1, 2, 3
By Pastor Donnie
A few months ago my wife Lauren gave birth to our beautiful baby boy Obadiah. Through the labor process, the nurse allowed me to participate in helping Lauren. Unfortunately, there came a point where I think that Lauren and I both questioned the nurse’s wisdom in allowing me to help. When Lauren reached the pushing stage, I had the task of counting. It seemed simple enough. How hard could it be to count to number 10? However, about the 15th time of counting from 1 to 10, I started to question whether I knew how to count at all! “Ok Lauren, push! 1, 2, 3, 6, 7...no no...I skipped something...3, 4, 5,....wait I think I already counted number 3.” Needless to say, my wife was not too happy with me!
Often we get so busy and stressed out in life doing things - work, eat, church, kid’s practice, TV show, etc., that we forget how to do the simple spiritual things – pray, read the Bible, commune with God.
In all of life’s hustle and bustle, we need to take time to slow down and remember the important things for our spiritual well-being. Take time this week to get alone with God and allow Him to refresh and re-energize you so that you can accomplish life’s everyday tasks with excellence.
