Isaiah 40:12

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket
or weighed the mountains on the scales,
and the hills in a balance?

BUSY


Satan's Meeting

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address 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 Savior." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ." "This is what I want you to do", said the devil. "Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"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 each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their families fragment, soon, their homes 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 cassette player whenever they drive...to keep the TV, VCR, 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." "Fill the coffee tables with 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, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night. Give them headaches too! If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!" "Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas. Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death." "Even in their recreation, let them be excessive...have them return from their recreation exhausted. Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies 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." "Crowd their lives with so many good causes 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 plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having 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:

A week of Psalms

Psalm 121
I life up my eyes to the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
the Make of heaven and earth
He will not let your foot slip
He who watches over you will not slumber
indeed he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep
The Lord watches over you
the Lord is your shade at your right hand
the sun will not hard you by day
nor the moon by night
The Lord will keep you from all harm
He will watch over your life
The Lord will watch every your coming and going
both now and forevermore

A week of Psalms

PSALM 1
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers
But his delight is in the law of the Lord
and on his law he mediates day and night
He is like a tree planted by the streams of water
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither
Whatever he does prospers
Not so the wicked, they are like chaff
that the wind blows away
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment
no sinners in the assembly of the righteous
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous
but the way of the wicked will perish

A week of Psalms

PSALM 145
I will exalt you, my God the King
I will praise your name for ever and ever
Every day I will praise you and extol
your name for ever and ever
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
His greatness no can fathom
One generation will commend your works to another
they will tell of your mighty acts
They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty
and I will meditate on your wonderful works
They will tell of power of your awesome works
and I will proclaim your greats deeds
They will celebrate your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your righteousness
The Lord is gracious and compassionate
slow to anger and rich in love
The Lord is good to all
He has compassion on all he has made

All you have made will praise you O Lord
your saints will extol you
They will tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might so that all men may know
of your mighty acts and the glorious
splendor of your kingdom
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
and your dominion endures through all generations
The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward
all He has made
The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all
who are bowed down .
The eyes of all look to you and give them their food
at the proper time
You open your hand
and satisfy the desires of every living thing

A week of Psalms

PSALM 146
Praise the Lord O my soul
I will praise the Lord all my life
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live
Do not put your trust in princes
In mortal men who cannot save
When their spirit departs they return to the ground
On that very day their plans come nothing
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob
Whose hope is in the Lord his God
The Make of Heaven and earth
The sea and everything in them
The Lord who remains faithful forever
He upholds the cause of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry
The Lord sets prisoners free
the Lord gives sight to the blind
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down
The Lord loves the righteous
The Lord watches over the alien and
sustains the fatherless and the widow
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked
The Lord reg ins forever
Your God O Zion for all generations
Praise the Lord

A week of Psalms

PSALM 147
Praise the Lord
How good it is to sing praises to our God
how pleasant and fitting to praise him
The Lord builds up Jerusalem
He gathers the exiles of Israel
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds
He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name
Great is our Lord and might in power
His understanding has no limit
The Lord sustains the humble
but casts the wicked to the ground
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving
make music to our God on the harp
He covers the sky with clouds
He supplies the earth with rain
and makes grass grow on the hills
He provides food for the cattle
and for the young ravens when they call
His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse
no His delight in the legs of a man
the Lord delights in those who fear Him
who put their hope in His unfailing love
Extol the Lord O Jerusalem
praise your God O Zion
for He strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your people within you
He grants peace to your borders
and satisfies you with the finest of wheat
He sends his command to the earth
His word runs swiftly
He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes
He hurls down His hail like pebbles
Who can withstand His icy blast
He send His word and melts them
He stirs up His breezes, and the waters flow
He has revealed His word to Jacob
His laws and decrees to Israel
He had done this for no other nation
they do not know His laws
Praise the Lord

A week of Psalms

Psalm 150
Praise the Lord
Praise God in His sanctuary
Praise Him in His might expanse
Praise Him for His mighty deeds
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness
Praise Him with trumpet sound
Praise Him with harp and lyre
Praise Him with timbrel and dancing
Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe
Praise Him with loud cymbals
Praise Him with resounding cymbals
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

Awesome weather


This has been one of the best fall seasons I can recall. Look how full and green the grass is for October 02. Can't recall a year when we were still cutting grass in Saskatchewan in October.
