Description 

Main Point: If we become busy—focusing on the things of this world, we will forsake our first love.

Synopsis:

• City nightlife is busy with people going here and there but one lone young woman takes a respite from the cares of life and finds that the subway provides a perfect place to focus on God.
• Taxis, buses, cars, pedestrians seem huddled together downtown—we see glimpses of people and lights in fast motion.
• There’s no real focus on one person—until the young woman who deliberately takes time out to seek God.
• Three Scriptures (see below) and one poignant question are superimposed on the screen: Are you busy pursuing the things of God or are you distracted by the sights and sounds of the world?
• Good production quality. Quirky, fast-paced music greatly enhances the video—conveying a sense of excitement and tension.

Application:

• There’s a reason the Lord refers to people as sheep in the Bible—we are prone to wonder away mindlessly doing our own thing.
• We need that time set apart for the Lord—and if we really want to make Him a priority, we will.
• The young woman in the video serves as an example of someone prioritizing God even in the midst of a busy lifestyle.

Suggested Uses:

• Appropriate for reflection before prayer or worship service begins
• Also appropriate for ambiance between services
• Sermon starter for message about business

Biblical Reference:

• Revelation 2:4 But here is something I hold against you. You don't have as much love as you had at first.
• 1 Timothy 5:13 They get into the habit of having nothing to do. They go around from house to house. They waste time. They talk about others. They bother people. They say things they shouldn't say.
• Isaiah 40:31 He says, "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I will be honored in the earth."
• Psalm 46:10 He says, "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be honored among the nations. I will be honored in the earth."
