TYRANNY OF URGENCY
"Anything less than a conscious commitment to the important is an unconscious commitment to the unimportant."
Stephen Covey
Do you ever wish for a 30 hour day?
Do you have trouble committing to bible study, personal bible reading time, church, anything spiritual?
It's seems that there clearly is a force out there trying to convince you with this list of excuses:
1. I'll get to the reading.
2. But I have to work. Work gets me money so I can get my needs met.
3. I know what the bible says "Jesus died for me..."
4. It is really important I get to the grocery store...we need food after all.
5. After the house is clean I'll get to it.
6. Sunday is the only day I can sleep in.
Blah, Blah, Blah
Every time without a doubt when I put God first I find I have more time than I ever IMAGINED!
The adversary will have you disagree with me on this point.
the only way you will know if I am telling the truth is by me
DARING YOU TO JUST TRY IT DAILY. Put God first by
1. Praying for your day, asking God to help you to respond righteously, be in the moment, be and do what He wants you to do today!
2. Read His word. There is so many on-line and twitter devotions today, no excuses!
The liar,prevaricator, beguiler, cheater, deceiver, trickster, and cheat wants you to believe there is NEVER ENOUGH TIME!
Jesus gave us an example to go to the Father first. The biggest example was before He went to the cross. I don't think one can willingly go to the cross without knowing the Father's will.
When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” (John 18:1-4 NIV)
Jesus prayed, He listened, He acted, He knew what the Father wanted. This is PEACE OF MIND!
Let's pray: Father in heaven help me deliver me from evil.
GO AHEAD I DARE YOU! Be consistent try this for 7 days straight and write me back and tell me what happened.
