Keep the Christians busy
Satan called a worldwide convention.
In his opening address to his assembled demons he said:
"We cannot keep the Christians from going to church. We cannot keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We cannot even keep them from conservative values. Nevertheless, we can do something else.
We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding relationship with Christ. If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.
So, let them go to church, let them have their conservative lifestyle, but steal their time, so they cannot gain that relationship.
This is what I want you to do. Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection!"
"How shall we do this?" shouted the demons.
"Keep them busy with the non-essentials of life. Invent schemes to occupy their time." he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, then borrow, borrow, borrow. Convince the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6 or 7 days a week, 10 - 12 hours a day, so they can afford their lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their family fragments, soon their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work. Also:
~Super-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice.
~Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive, and to keep the TV, VCR, CD players and PCs going constantly in their homes.
~See to it that every store and restaurant in the world blares secular music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.
~Fill their coffee tables with secular magazines and newspapers.
~Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.
~Invade their driving moments with billboards.
~Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, sweepstakes, mail order catalogues, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering, free products, services, and false hopes.
~In their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted, and unprepared for the coming week.
~Do not let them go out in nature to reflect on God' s wonders. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts, and movies instead.
~When they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotion.
~Let them be involved in soul-winning, but crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ in prayer. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."
Convention Aftermath
It was quite a convention. The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and rush here and there.
Has the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the judge.
How about this definition of BUSY: Being Under Satan's Yoke.

I asked God for strength, so I could flourish;
He gave me weakness, so I could learn to rely.
I asked God for wealth, so I could be content;
He gave me insufficiency, so I could learn wisdom.
He gave me insufficiency, so I could learn wisdom.
I asked God for flair, so I could earn people's praise;
He gave me humility, so I could learn to earn His praise.
He gave me humility, so I could learn to earn His praise.
I asked God for triumph, so I could reach my goals;
He gave me hardship, so I could learn to endure.
He gave me hardship, so I could learn to endure.
I asked God for what is temporary, He gave me what is eternal;
Because He loves me with unfailing love.
Because He loves me with unfailing love.
