If you’re very, very busy, it could be because it’s your way of avoiding some issues in your life that need to be addressed. We’re asking the question: How does God feel about my busyness?
Maybe you need to ask yourself: 
Do I stay busy to avoid issues that need to be confronted?
I know how easy this is to do, because I did it for ten years. During this period many years ago, I was running from God’s control in my life. I wanted to be in charge. So, my lifestyle was not what it should be, and I knew it. But I didn’t want to face it; I didn’t want to relinquish control of my life. I just kept busy. I made sure every minute was filled with some kind of activity. Every weekend, every evening—if I didn’t have anything to do, I found something. I got involved in all kinds of activities simply to stay busy. That way I didn’t leave time to think; I didn’t allow quiet moments when the convicting voice of God’s Spirit could get to me.
It didn’t really work. I was under conviction the whole time, but busyness became my escape mechanism to avoid confronting the sin in my life. What a foolish thing to do. We can’t hide from God, no matter how busy we are, and eventually we must face ourselves. If you’re staying busy because you don’t want to hear what God has to say to you, let me urge you to give it up. God wants only good things for you, and you don’t even realize how heavy your burden of guilt is until you get right with God, accept his forgiveness, and turn the controls back over to him.
One final question to ask yourself about your busy schedule:
Is my busyness an obstacle to my spiritual growth?
Are you too busy for time with God? Is that what falls through the cracks when the schedule gets heavy? I believe this is one of Satan’s best tricks to pull on us—to keep us so busy we convince ourselves we just don’t have time to read our Bibles, develop a meaningful prayer life, get to know God better. If you’re too busy to have a consistent daily time with God, you’re too busy. That’s for sure.
