One of the prophets, probably a member of the prophetic guild led by Elijah & Elisha, was sitting by the side of the road…intentionally wounded & disguised. As King Ahab passed by, he told him a “story” about guarding a captive but allowing him to escape because he was too busy with other things. When the King passed judgment on him, the prophet quickly turned it back on him as God’s judgment on King Ahab’s evil dealings. This prophet used the excuse of busyness in order to execute God’s displeasure, and it is busyness today that will get us into trouble too. Busy work, however wonderful it is to further God’s Kingdom, when done at the detriment of other priorities, is just something that looks productive, but only keeps us occupied & often drowns out His Voice. If your “good works” are taking you away from your main priorities of God & family…should they even be considered good works?
