The Question

Have you ever made a Honey-Do List? It works pretty well with tremendous results except during Honey’s hunting season. What I really enjoy is when Honey begins to quietly mark through each item one-at-a-time!

Did you know each Believer has a companion To-Be List to the daily To-Do List?  In all we DO, we are to BE “doers of the word, and not hearers only.” (James 1:22a).  How easily Satan would have us forget “Christianity is not a way of doing certain things, but a certain way of doing all things.”  God doesn’t add to our To-Do List, He just sanctifies it according to His holy purpose.  Imagine how what we do changes when we present God our To-Do lists as a tool unto His righteousness and ask of Him: make me reflect Your love today, display Your joy, manifest Your peace, practice Your patience, express Your kindness, make known Your goodness, reveal Your faithfulness. show Your gentleness, exhibit Your self-control.  We don't have to totally abandon what we DO, but rather seek His guidance TO BE His reflection.  It’s not Shakespeare asking – it’s God, “to be, or not to be: that is the question.” Ultimately, the answer rests in how much of me I daily surrender to Christ.  Just so we know -- He wants it all!
