Prioritize-Reoganize

It is not a good morning-thing to be “in the stew” before your feet touch the floor! You can count on breaking the day’s speed limit: we brush faster, walk swifter, press buttons harder, type more urgently, and are more easily annoyed!

Is your life best described as a series of random happenings? There’s no reason for randomness with the aid of cell phones, e-mails, and digital calendars keeping us on-track. What a shame most of us leave little-to-no cushion of time for shifts in the day's plans. To squeeze one more thing in, something has to be squeezed out! How then can we respond to those who need a touch from Christ? Jesus found Himself in such a situation when His mother pulled Him aside to tell him there was no more wine at a wedding feast in Cana (John 2). Her announcement was far from casual -- it was an alarm! Although Jesus told her her his “time” had not yet come, he understood the need of the moment. Jesus’ first miracle met a real-world need! There are real people [all around us] with real needs that deserve real responses. Christ calls Believers to love one another (John 15:12) and seize every opportunity to serve others in His Name, seeing those moments [not as interruptions but] as a preordained occasion to share Christ. Take a look at your calendar; is there time open to serve? If not, prioritize and reorganize!
