Difficult to Eradicate

by PamFord Davis  
10/29/2013 / Devotionals

Kudzu drives homeowner crazy! It might not make a byline for a newspaper reporter but it does happen. As a Florida Yankee transplant, I once made the mistake of describing the sprawling plants as pretty. The Northwest Florida native quickly set me straight. In reality, they are a nuisance and nearly impossible to eradicate. To their dismay, homeowners and lawn-care companies' watch as kudzu take over property.

To my dismay, being busy drives me crazy! My frustration makes no headlines. Daily routines and responsibilities have their place; penciled in appointments and scheduled special events are noteworthy. Problems arise when my to-do list mushrooms and busyness takes over my life. Instead of seeing plans as meaningful, I perceive many as intrusions and distractions from times of solitude.

In solitude, I seek my Savior. "Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find me, when you search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found by you, declares the LORD (Jeremiah 29:12-14a NAS)." When I become too busy, my times of seeking Him through Bible study, prayer and meditation diminishes. Busyness is difficult to eradicate; the Holy Spirit makes self-control in my schedules possible.
