       Sometimes Satan will even us church leaders to get to us, by them saying we have to follow certain things in order to be obedient to God, like being involved in this or that ministry, or in a certain amount of ministries. And sometimes, Satan cultivates this perception in our minds, even though the leaders actually aren't really saying this. Either way, we can find ourselves stretching ourselves too thin, trying to hit almost every ministry our church offers. We may go to church on Sunday morning and Sunday night, have prayer meeting Monday night, then Bible study on Tuesday and Wednesday, and on and on it goes. But this isn't right. We shouldn't be stretching ourselves so thin, even if it's for the benefit of others, and the degradation of ourselves. We have to care about keeping ourselves sane, and care about family obligations and other obligations where needed. On the flip side of this, sometimes Satan gets us to think that enjoying free time, or time doing a hobby, is in fact bad. But, of course, this isn't true. To use an Old Testament passage, it is written, "“You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain" (Deuteronomy 25:4, ESV).
