"The spiritual disciplines necessary for spiritual vitality and growth are often crowded out by the rush, noise and distractions of modern society. Our attention becomes occupied with this present world that is at best temporary while robbing us of investing necessary time in those matters that will count for eternity. The Lord Jesus warned us about “the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things” (Mark 4:19). The Lord Jesus as an adult worked as a carpenter and cared for His widowed mother and His brothers and sisters until he was thirty. Then by His Father’s direction He entered into a very demanding ministry for three years. He well understands the demands you face, but He also knows about maintaining what is essential for spiritual health. Gladly He will strengthen and guide you to do as He did by the Holy Spirit. Trust Him."
