I think people nowadays are very concern how they should not burn themselves out and be selective in the things they do.
I myself is concern about this issue because many times I ask myself am I doing too much, do I need more rest and not do other things? Work is something that most of us love to hate and many of us at times are left with no choice but to sacrifice our time for work. Of course we need to work for if we say no to work, how are we gonna feed ourselves/ our family?
People can easily fall into the trap of putting work first on top of many things, including their relationship. One should know that it is only right for one to work so that he or she can provide for their family and their own daily needs. One should find the right balance in life.
We can get burn out by focusing too much on work and indirectly, and at times unknown to us, we are rule over by our work. One needs to see that the one who rules our lives is non other than Jesus.
One should always put Jesus first in their heart and all other things will fall into place.
If Jesus is first, we can trust Him to lift our burdens.
If Jesus is first, we will not let work be the king of our lives rather to learn to be content in our job.
If Jesus is first, we can joyfully use our time for His sake and not for ourselves.
If Jesus is first, we will truly be able to love our loved ones wholeheartedly without any complains.
If Jesus is first, we don't have to worry about burn outs for He will surely take care of those who seeks Him.
May God be glorified in the decisions we make in our lives.
