"...God gives me enough time to do what God wants me to do. God never calls us to do something and fails to give us enough time to do it." - John Ortberg
Are you living your priorities or are you just trying to do guilt management? Many of us are missing out on the life God is calling us to live because we are just too busy. It is often said, "If the devil can't make you bad, he will make you busy."
We can find ourselves in guilt management when we pray, read our Bible, or go to church just enough to appease our conscious. When we live like this growth rarely happens, our faith is dull, and our lives are weak. The early church did not reproduce like we see in Acts because they figured out how to reduce worship, prayer, serving, and community into tiny, small commitments that fit in around life as usual. These were their priorities. They were of first importance and the world was changed because of it.
When we look at our calendar we see a lot of squares. The question we must ask ourselves is, "How will I fill these squares?" One day will be your final square, will you have lived your priorities?
