Busyness Is Not Godliness: Finding Rest in Christ

from Thankful Homemaker: A Christian Homemaking Podcast · host Marci Ferrell: Christian Homemaker, Wife, Mother and Grandmother

Life feels full for so many of us. There are responsibilities to manage, people to care for, work to do, ministries to serve in, and homes to tend. And while those things are often good gifts from the Lord, busyness and faithfulness are not always the same thing. Sharing some encouragement from God’s Word for those seasons when life begins to feel hurried and spiritually weary, when our hearts slowly become distracted in the middle of full days.  My prayer is that this episode encourages you to slow down a bit, rest in Christ, and become more present in the people and moments the Lord has placed right in front of you.
