Busy-ness and Spiritual Restlesness

Our mundane busy-ness can be a symptom of a spiritual restlessness -
a symptom of our own disbelief and disobedience which would prevent us
from entering God's rest. When we become consumed with "our work"
- whatever that might be, and even if it is noble, holy, and just -

we unwittingly fall back into the autonomous dreams of our own making.

When we spurn rest, we spurn grace and reject God's gift.

James Smith
