"Busyness does not mean I am diligent
Busyness does not mean I am faithful
Busyness does not mean I am fruitful."

"In all they ways, small as well as great; in all thy concerns, personal or relative, temporal or eternal, let him be supreme."

"The early Protestants rightly conceived of our callings as being much broader than our job. All of our roles in life are callings. Being a spouse, a parent, a church member, a neighbor, and a Christian are all callings."
"Most Christians believe they can be a Christian at work. To do so involves being a diligent worker, being honest in one's dealings with an employer, and witnessing to fellow workers. But this still leaves the work itself untouched by one's Christian faith. The original Protestants were right in going beyond this and claiming that the work itself is a spiritual issue and a means of glorifying God. We can be Christians not only in our work but through our work if we view our work as an obedient response to God's calling."

*****I know that the time I do spend "busy" or not, is not viewed as an opportunity to take it to Jesus. Sometimes I just do the job not looking at Him, not asking Him for guidance or the faithfulness to complete the task He has given me. What if we gave Him every piece of time with our words and our deeds? What would we look like as believers? Probably a lot more like Jesus. "Not my will, but Thine."******
