did u know that on ur daily to-do list, all items are not created equal: certain task are extremely important while other are not. therefore, it is imperative that we got to prioritize our daily activities and complete each task according to the order of importance.
the principle of doing first things first is simple in theory but more complicated when we put it into practise. u know lah, there are certain things that can come in our way unexpectedly, eg. family, friends, colleagues, etc etc. furthermore, each day has its own share of minor emergencies that tend to draw our attention away from the more important task we have. on paper, prioritizing is simple, but to act on it in the real world requires maturity, patience, determination and balance.
if we fail to do so, guess what ? life will automatically do the job for us. it is simple: either we prioritize or we are gonna be prioritized. it's a choice that will help determine the quality of our lives.
u know, if you are having trouble balancing the many demands of everyday living, maybe you've been trying to organise your life according to your own priorities and not God's. personally i encounter this b4 and trust me, without God in the picture. things can get a bit messy. a better strategy is to take our obligations and place them in the hands of the ONE who created us.
well....for it to happen, we must prioritize our day according to God's commandments, and we must seek HIS will and HIS wisdom in all matters. then...we can face our day with assurance that the same God who created the universe out of nothing will help us place first things first in our lives.
and so i am thinking....the next question that we should ask ourselves is whether we are all living a balance life that allows time for worship, for family, for work, for exercise and a little bit of personal time ourselves. i guess it is something that is not easy to accomplish coz i am sure a lot of people are feeling, overworked, under-appreciated, overwhelmed, underpaid, etc etc.
well....what i can say is, if we think that we are "maxed out" and our energy is on the wane, then i guess it is time to restore a sense of balance in our lives. what we can do is, to surrender our priorities to God prayerfully, earnestly and regularly. then we listen to God and see what HIS answer is or what HE has to say (something that a lot of busy ppl dun have time to do) and the next thing is.....TRUST the answers HE gives (something that a lot of us find hard coz our faith not big enuf)
our days are filled with obligations and task that we have to complete. but no priority is greater than our obligation to the ONE who created us. so we must make sure that we give HIM the time HE deserves, not only on Sundays, but also on everyday other day of the week.
what i can say is if we just spend that little bit of extra time with HIM waiting for HIS answers. no matter how busy our day, somehow or rather, all the busyness will shorten by itself and we will end up having the extra time and balance life that we want. trust me. God Bless.
