My First Book:
Keeping Balance With Your Schedule
Posted in: Uncategorized by DannyTice on February 17, 2010
One of the things that can bring excessive stress in our lives is over-commitment. Laziness and slothfulness are sins but so is over-commitment. Young children seem to have no problem spouting out “no!” when they don’t want to do something (sometimes things mom and dad need to insist on). Some adults, however, have trouble saying “no”. They say yes to every person that asks them to do something. Jesus isn’t Lord of their schedules; their own personal guilt is. They cram too much into their schedule to try to prove they are a competent and worthy person. This pitfall was my trap for years. I said “yes” to everything because I wanted to be a good pastor and a responsible person. I wasn’t lazy but I fell into the trap of eliminating any margin in my life for fun and relaxation.

This humorous story illustrates that when we fill our lives with too much it always leads to disaster emotionally, physically and spiritually.
