Day 6
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
If someone asked you how you’re doing, would your answer be: Busy?
We wear busyness like a badge — crammed calendars, back-to-back appointments, always running, never resting. But a full schedule doesn’t equal a full life.
Jesus lived on mission, yet never rushed. He was purposeful, yet always interruptible. He made room to pray, to rest, to be with people — and He invites us to follow His example.
Your schedule reflects your priorities. And when your schedule is packed with everything but God, family, rest, or purpose — it’s time for a reset.
God didn’t create you to be overwhelmed. He created you for peace, purpose, and presence.
How you can start making margin in your schedule:
Start with what matters most — If something’s truly important (like time with God), it should show up on your calendar.
Say no to good things to say yes to God things — You can’t do everything — and you’re not called to.
Build in breathing room — Margin gives space for rest, reflection, and unexpected divine appointments.
Schedule rest and fun — Sabbath isn’t a suggestion — it’s a rhythm. Rest restores your soul and refuels your purpose.
Be present, not just productive — Don’t let constant movement rob you of meaningful moments.
Busyness isn’t a badge of honor — it’s often a barrier to what matters most.
Time is a gift. Make room in your schedule to live wisely, love deeply, and walk closely with God.
very moment is a gift from God — let’s steward this gift well.
