Years of aimless living in addiction kept us from becoming focused, well-organized, and productive. As we move forward we need to be humble enough to admit that we have efficiency gaps in our current way of living and allow God and others to teach us new skills.
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16 NIV)
Our priority each morning should be to give focused time to God so we can communicate with Him and allow Him to encourage and guide us in prioritizing our plans for that day. Spending time with God, reading the Bible and praying, may seem challenging at first but starting the day with God is the best thing we can do. What we have planned to do will then be guided by God’s wisdom and the outcome is that we will become more efficient in completing our agenda.
... fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2 NIV)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, You had many distractions to deal with each day but You stayed focused on what Your Heavenly Father had in mind for You to do. Help me to seek God’s will and stay focused on the plans He has for me. Amen
