18 Nov 13 devotional from, Experiencing God
Serving God is one of the greatest things you can do on this earth. It is extremely important and well as a task asked of you by God Himself. The reason I did not say it's the MOST important thing you can do is because, sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening to what He has to say is equally as important. While God loves the time you spend serving Him and spreading His name on earth, there are times when you need to just relax and listen to Jesus. Spend time in worship with Him, fellowship with others. Reading, prayer, and fasting are all ways you can do this.
We are not called to sit at the Lords feet continuously, otherwise our service would cease, and on the other hand, we are not called to serve Him continuously, otherwise, we may lose sight of why we are doing what we're doing. Keep an even keel about these two tasks. When you become so entranced in your service, whether it be, leading, discipling, praying over others or any kind of service, that you forget to spend time with Jesus, you have become too busy. Slow down, take a rest and make time for the One whom you set out to serve.
Don't lose sight of why you are here, and doing what your doing.
