Why do we wait until our health plummets before we decide to create margin in our lives? The Bible teaches that your body needs downtime in order to heal and re-energize. Listen to why this is so important: when youre overloaded by activity, you can only think of yourself. Youre in survival mode, just trying to make it through another day. And that limits your usefulness in ministry! When you have no downtime or margin in your life and God taps you on the shoulder, saying, Id like you to do this for me, your first response isnt joy. Your first response is, Oh, no! Another thing to do! Sorry, God -- Id like to do that, but Im just too busy. We end up resenting the great opportunities God brings into our lives. But when we deliberately and specifically add downtime into our lives, we become available for God to use us as we head into this decade of destiny. Rick Warren
