April 29 Devotion

Ever catch yourself just on the go? The minutes, hours, and days, all seem to be go-go-go. You accomplish one task and then move onto the next. Almost robotic. Your time ends up simply “doing” things. It’s easy to get into that kind of rhythm. I know I sometimes find myself doing that. Nothing wrong with setting out to accomplish something. Nothing wrong with having goals in mind. A destination to head towards. But we need to be mindful of our purpose. Our goals need to have reason. Why is that?

I think that if we keep our priorities straight, then we can set time to be still with God. We can rest for a moment with God. This is important. It helps keep us from burning out. It helps us continue to find joy in what we are doing. Makes us less vulnerable to attacks from the great deceiver. And most importantly, this then helps us keep our accomplishments in line with the plan God has for us.

So today let’s do some self-reflection. Let’s take time to reconnect with God. Let’s focus on working on what he’s called us to do. God wants to bless us. Let’s let him. Let’s let God start doing more with our lives. If we do, we will feel his grace. We will see that what we work to do, will in fact accomplish what we are called to do. God’s plan is perfect. And it will be perfect if we stay focused on it, and not focused on simply “doing” things.
