The Mighty Mo

___________________________

Life often feels like a lot of zig zagging from one point to the next. What amazes me about this, is that looking backward over the many different places I have been, I can see a straight path. Somehow, God manages to use every experience through which he leads us to build or develop something in us. One stop along the way leads to the next and on we go. It is really amazing to see his hand at work, but that rarely comes when you’re in the middle of the process.

The reason it feels like we are constantly weaving our way down a very crooked road is because it never seems like we’re able to build up any momentum.

July 3, 2019 – I long for the fusion of what I am doing (busyness) with living out God’s plan and purpose for life (business). How can I be devoted to one thing, while constantly having to give my attention to a million other things. Feeling so divided makes it difficult to build any momentum.

If what you do every day is more busyness than business, then you need to reevaluate what you’re doing. There will always be people and activities that will hound you for your time and attention. Choose wisely. In the book Boundaries for Leaders, the authors write, “Everything that exists in your life is either something you create or something you allow. You are ridiculously in charge!”

Ask God for wisdom. Trust his above all other voices. Then remember, time spent, is rarely worth the cost, but time invested, produces the greatest dividends.
