We've discussed the sin of laziness, and we've discussed the sin of busyness - but one thing that leads from the sin of busyness is the concept of burnout
We overcommit and become over-tired and start not to be able to cope
Four questions
Who are we?
What do we need?
Why do we burnout?
How are we revitalized?
Who We Are
We are created with authority and dominion
We are created to be able to take charge and subdue
We are the Image and Likeness of God - we have a spirit within us. Body and spirit, and the spirit lives on.
"The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life" (Job 33:4)
We are those made by God, and given life by God
We are more than happy to take credit and feel proud about our successes, and we forget that in our essence, we are dust. We came from nothing. We were given life and existence and spirit, by God and God alone
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day." (2 Corinthians 4:16)
