In this excerpt from Chrystal Hurst’s YouTube talk, she explains that when the devil cannot directly remove a person’s blessings—such as health, finances, or purpose—he will instead overwhelm them with busyness, preventing them from fully experiencing those gifts. She illustrates this with a paraphrased quote from Corrie ten Boom: “If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.” The message warns listeners that excessive busyness can be a spiritual tactic that blocks engagement with God‑given blessings, urging believers to recognize and prioritize their “big rocks” despite a hectic schedule.

If the devil can't take away the good things in your life, he'll just make you too busy for you to engage with them fully. He's like, I'm not going to take them away from her. She won't let me do that. She's not going to let me convince her that her health is not good or that her money's not good or that her purpose isn't good, but I'll just make her so busy that she actually can't fit them in like the big rocks they should be. Corrie ten Boom said, if the devil can't make you bad, he'll make you busy.
