Good Enough, 98-102 Isaiah 55:1-3
Where do you fall on this busyness spectrum?
My days have lots of margin.
My days are always too full.
Think back to something you did recently that shimmered with meaning. What does that say about what’s important to you?
As the great theologian and reformer Martin Luther said to Philip Melanchthon, “Philip, let’s go fishing. Today we can leave the governance of the universe to God.” How would it feel to get off of the treadmill (or at least slow down) today, and recognize that you are more than the sum of your tasks, hyper-activity, or accomplishments?
God, Sometimes I am tempted to believe that my worth is linked to all I can do.
The person who never says no. Whose plate is filled to the brim. But too often my productivity can leave me feeling empty, exhausted, and unseen. Ground me in Your love. Remind me that I am not merely the sum of my tasks, and infuse my work, my relationships, my life with a deeper meaning—one grounded in Your purposes.
Amen.
