Get off the Treadmill

Word for September 9th, 2022

Are you running on a treadmill or several treadmills? If you are, you're expending a lot of energy and not getting anywhere. That can be true on your spiritual journey, that you find yourself busy doing a lot of things, but not getting anywhere, for it's not a pursuit of true holiness. It's not a pursuit of running the race to win the crown. It is your busyness of what you think you should be doing or what you're so used to doing that you keep doing it, unaware that you need to stop. So take the opportunity to look at everything you're doing right now. And what things are you doing that are truly what I've directed you to do? And what things you are just caught in the busyness and doing 'good things' that are not what I've asked you to do?
