Daily Meditation

When life’s calendar overflows with commitments, it can be hard to discern what’s truly important. In this relatable devotional, Laura Bailey reflects on how our time can quickly get consumed by good things—yet still leave us feeling spiritually empty. She draws from 1 Corinthians 10:23 to challenge us to rethink our calendars, our hearts, and our priorities.

Through a busy season of endless events, Laura invites us to pause and ask: Just because we can, does that mean we should? By seeking the Lord’s guidance, we can learn to live more intentionally, create margin for the things that matter most, and align our lives with the eternal purpose of serving and glorifying God.
