I just came across a quote by A.W. Tozer written in 1948, more than 60 years ago.  Sounds to me though, like it could have been written today.

“Every age has its own characteristics. Right now we are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart. The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.”

May the Lord bring us back to the simplicity of the gospel and the sufficiency of Christ.  Satan will provide every distraction to keep our focus away from Christ.  The most common distraction today seems to be busyness.  Perhaps today is a good day to ask the Lord what we should eliminate from our lives in order to focus more on what he wants to do in and through us.
