And if the only reason we choose to say, "Yes" to something is because we're scared of what people will think if we say, "No," then our real focus is our need for approval; not Kingdom work. Dave, you nailed it.

I think we need to guard our time so that we don't push ourselves to the point of being so busy we can't really serve and live at the same time. And I think that the urge to be that busy with the RIGHT things is a trick that Satan plays on us to keep us from developing a richer relationship with our Saviour.Ed Starkenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671967616266517910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867106943332368504.post-50362463453758116102012-08-15T19:17:08.658-05:002012-08-15T19:17:08.658-05:00Paul, it sounds like you are right there with me! ...Paul, it sounds like you are right there with me!

Getting to the part of life when we can say NO is very difficult. A lot of times we do things to make ourself look good, and saying NO doesn't fit. <br /><br />We need to remember to do all things to bring God glory, not ourselves!<br /><br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938462155177900574noreply@blogger.com
