But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.' Make the work harder for the men so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies." (Exodus 5:8-9)
The real lie here is overworking so as not to give attention to the most important thing--worshipping God.
I heard a quote recently that said, "Keep the MAIN thing, the main thing." This is SO true!!
I spend so much time in frivolous activity, busy-work, etc., rather than keeping my MAIN focus on living to worship and serve the Lord and my family.
"Oh Lord, help me to keep my priorities in YOU order: God (You), others, self... and let me not keep busy on those things that have no eternal value, but on serving YOU and doing Your work!!"
