The Overwhelming Life

The Under-whelming Life… is marked by... Laziness Selfishness Fear

The Under-whelming Life… results in… Want Prov 6:10-11 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest— Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.

The Under-whelming Life… results in… Want Superficiality Boring routine

The Overwhelming Life is… Isolated (I’m so busy with things I don’t have time for people) Crazy busy –Filled with urgency –Often overlapping activities so I’m often tardy –I’m tired with no hope for relief –Like a treadmill—constant motion but gaining little ground –Strained relationships

The Overwhelming Life… is marked by… Frenzy Stress Discouragement –Opens me up to attacks from the Enemy Depression Worthlessness May lead to immorality Sense of futility

John Piper “Work is not a curse. Futility is.”

Frenzy is driven by… Need to do it all Need to feel accomplished Desire to have it all Desire to look like I have it all together Self-reliant attitude Pride My insistence that my needs (really, desires) get met first—and I’m in charge of this because no one else really has my best interests at heart

Matt 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Frenzy is driven by… Genuine desire to serve Inability to say “no”; no delegation Poor planning

Stress is a result of… Haste

Prov 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.

Stress is a result of… Haste Unmet needs—sometimes desires Too many activities, not enough time People blocking my goals; I’m pressed for time so I have little patience Poor communication (from the lack of patience) Competing priorities

Discouragement comes as… I fail my deadlines I produce shoddy work I realize I can’t keep up with demands I let others down; I become a “say ‘yes’ and do ‘no’” I disappoint myself

Is there a solution? How can I manage a busy life? How can I manage a full schedule? Can I balance school, church, sports, friends, and family? Will I ever feel rested? How can I have a Quiet Time when my life is in chaos? Can I sort my priorities in a way that pleased God? Can I do it all?
