Unforced Rhythm of Grace

Steve Smith, of The Potters Inn in Colorado says: "Busy-ness is the only sin that the church celebrates with gusto.”

Most of us wear our busy-ness as a badge of pride. We brag about our full schedules, our Gold status with the airlines, and our hundreds of emails.

But in the Psalms , God reminds us to Be still and know that He is God.

In the Chinese language, when you write the two characters for Heart + Annihilation together, the character means=Busy-ness. Busy-ness produces annihilation of the core of our being.

Try taking the night off. Enjoy a weekend without email. Take that much deserved vacation.

Jesus reminds us to learn the unforced rhythm of grace.
