Empty Hands

"Shall we never permit out hands to be empty so we may grasp what only empty hands can grasp?" Karl Barth
It's so easy to fill our lives. There's always something to add to the calendar, one more thing on the unending to-do list, or a phone call to make.
How often do the pleasures, purposes and plans we set about doing fill us to such an extent there is no room for God's?
It's a good thing to sit with empty hands in his presence.
