Can you say B.U.S.Y.??

Satan has called a worldwide convention. In his opening address to his evil angels, 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 forming an intimate, abiding relationship experience in Christ, and if they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken. So let them go to their churches; let them have their conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they cannot gain that relationship with Jesus Christ.”
“This is what I want you angels to do. Distract them from gaining a hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!” The evil angels shouted, “How shall we do this?” Satan responded, “Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds. Tempt them to spend, spend, spend and borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days a week, 10-12 hours per day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their families fragment, soon, their home will offer no escape from the pressures of work!”
“Over stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice. Entice them to play the radio or CD player whenever they drive. Keep the TV, VCR, DVD and PC’s going constantly in their homes. And see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.”
“Even in their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from vacation exhausted, disquieted, and unprepared for the coming week. Don’t let them go out in nature to reflect on God’s wonders. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts and other activities instead. Keep them busy, busy, busy! And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotions.”
“Go ahead, let them be involved in soul winning; but crowd their lives with so many good causes that they have no time to seek power from Jesus. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause.”
“It will work! It will work!” It was quite a convention. The evil angels went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.
The question is: Has the devil been successful at his scheme in your life?
Does “BUSY” mean: Being Under Satan’s Yoke?
