I’m not lazy, just energy deficient – A cure for the do it all life
I passed by a lady the other morning
While walking my chocolate Lab, Rose
The lady had one of those slogan tee shirts on
It said
“I’m not lazy, just energy deficient”
Lol
She seemed a sassy type of gal
And wore that tee shirt

I’M NOT LAZY…
We’re so busy with being busy
Doing the urgent stuff
That we
Have no energy left
To do the important stuff
It’s not that we’re lazy
We have just become so energy deficient
That we feel completely exhausted
So, how do we cure our need
On having to do it all?
…JUST ENERGY DEFICIENT
Jesus understood the importance
For rest and relaxation
He knew that our minds and bodies
Need a ‘time out’ for restoration
In Mark chapter 6
He says to His disciples
“Let us go out into the wilderness for a while and rest ourselves” Mark 6:31 (The Voice)
Even though the crowds had gathered
Even though their needs were urgent
And they we’re all important
“They could get no peace until they boarded a boat and sailed toward a deserted place.” Mark 6:32
Jesus knew He and His disciples
Had to get into that boat
And sail towards a deserted place
A CURE FOR THE DO IT ALL LIFE
Have you ever thought
Of sailing to a deserted place?
It’s not because you’re lazy
You just need to recharge your batteries
Because you’ve become so energy deficient
From trying to do it all
That you need space to breathe
God promised Moses
In the book of Exodus
“My presence will travel with you, and I will give you rest” – Exodus 33:14
So, the cure for the do it all life is
Sail off to a deserted place
I don’t mean literally
Unless you do own a boat!
Sailing off can just be
Finding a quiet place somewhere
Where you can gather your thoughts
Then
Stay in God’s presence for a while
And learn to just rest in Him
Because the urgent can wait awhile
Spending time with God
That’s more important
And He knows
When you come to Him to find rest
You’re not lazy
Just energy deficient
