I truly feel convicted to share this. I read this in Dr. David Jeremiah's book titled "I Never Thought I'd See the Day."
I can't stress how deceptive the enemy (Satan) is. Spiritual Warfare is a battle you and I can't afford to loose.
B-U-S-Y really means Being Under Satan's Yoke!
Imagine Satan addressing a worldwide convention of demons and promising them a victory in believers' lives if they will faithfully do the following 12 things:
1) Keep them busy with nonessentials
2) Tempt them to overspend and go into debt
3) Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles
4) Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disentegrate there's no refuge from work
5) Overstimulate their minds with television and computers so that they can't hear God speaking to them
6) Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines so they've no time for reading the Bible
7) Flood their mailboxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich schemes; keep them chasing material things
8) Put glamorous models on TV and on magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearances; that way they'll be dissatisified with themselves and their mates
9) Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way they'll be tempted to look elsewhere
10) Emphasize Santa and the Easter bunny; that way you'll divert them from the real meaning of the holidays
11) Involve them in "good" causes so they won't have time for "eternal" ones
12) Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of God's power working through them
