Be careful what you wish for

Hebrews 12:2
keep your eyes on your master or you’ll get distracted.  

Gosh it has been a long while. Can't believe that in the 2 months of freedom, I am actually busier with full appointments, meetings, holidays and activities that is making me financially poorer and more tired than when I've full time working responsibilities. Thus, the lack of time and discipline to reflect on the things of God. 

It's really terrible that the lack of structured daily timing that results in me spending any time listening to God's word on Podcast or even proper prayer time. All this 'exciting' extra time of holiday has sadly resulted in a degeneration of my life as I look back at the 6 weeks that has quickly transpired and despite the packed schedule I had, little was developed for significant eternal value.

I can't help but sit in the room, cable TV on, and realised that I've been distracted by the bonus time given to me. How easy it is to focus on the pleasures and desires of our life and make it through every exciting day without the need to have God in the picture. How ironic it also is when I am taxed, tormented and stressed by work that I keep my eyes on God because He's my only help.

2 more weeks left, I better buck up and make up for lost time to return to a discipline of finding God in my daily life.
