Last week when we started home cell again with the first part of the Canvas called Glory by Louie Giglio, I was in the busiest week of this year yet. So busy, that I did not have time to spend with God. I had to finish my project at African Defence Systems before the contract ended and at the same time look for more work. I was too busy looking out for myself than looking out for God. I was in the driver's seat of my life.

Louie said that God is working on a canvas of our lives so that we can bring glory to Him. While Louie spoke a lady was painting on a canvas a beautiful picture of the splendour of God's creation. And at the end Louie took his hand and put it in black paint and made a messy smudge on the canvas. He then said that was us, taking what God has created and messing it up, Big Time.

How can we bring glory to God in that?

God has a plan that our minds cannot fathom. A plan to bring glory. But I was not keeping still enough for God to use me to bring glory. No matter how busy we have been, God never takes an eye off of us for a second and is always working on the canvas of our lives.

Your love has captured me,
Your grace has set me free,
Your life the air I breathe,
Be glorified in me.

You set my feet to dancing,
You set my heart on fire,

In the presence of a thousand kings
You are my one desire,
And I stand before You now
With trembling hands lifted high,
Be glorified.

A wise man once said "If you're too busy to spend time with God, then you're too busy!"
