Are You Too B-U-S-Y?
'Don't ... unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more mischief' 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons... He said, 'We can't keep Christians from going to church. We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Saviour. Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken...
'So let's steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ ... Tempt them ... Overstimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice. Entice them to keep the TV, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home 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.
'Give them Santa Claus to distract them from the real meaning of Christmas. Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about His resurrection and power over sin and death. Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation....And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences.' It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly, causing Christians everywhere to get more busy, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families, and no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives. I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the judge! Does 'busy' mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?
