The bondage of busy-ness….. I have been slammed at work. This overwhelming feeling has been overshadowing my whole life. Today it ended. I was still just as busy but I made up my mind to not care. ahhh the sweet freedom of not caring! Actually I stopped worrying about my workload and just dealt with it. I read Deut 8 this morning and I just read it again. Thats about all  I read but I really read it slow tonight. Got some very good thoughts out of it, more to come on that… This is the thought that has been running thru my mind for the past two days: Abrahams name means “Father of the Multitude”. When God changed Abrahams name to Abraham he didnt have any children and his wife was barren. He couldnt see the things God had for him at that very moment. What plans cant  I see that the Lord has for me? Am I walkining in the Trust that Abraham walked in? The word says that I am a child of promise like he is! What holding me back?!

Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

Gal 4:27 For it is written, “Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.”

Gal 4:28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.

Gal 4:29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Gal 4:30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.”

Gal 4:31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
