Summary: We live in a very busy, hurried society. Why all of this busyness? Many people find their value and worth in how full their schedule is and how many tasks and to-dos they're juggling. But I would challenge you, just what are you busy about? Your schedule reflects your priorities. Are you busy loving God, serving others, and reaching your world? Or are you busy doing trivial things? I've heard it said that there are very few roles in our life where we are irreplaceable. What are some of those essential roles? Well, I'll tell you. Friend, only you can be a father or mother to your children. Only you can be a loving spouse to your husband or wife. Only you can spend time at the feet of Jesus to get His wisdom and direct guidance for you personally. Often it seems that clubs or jobs or meetings take up our time making it difficult to focus on what really matters. What are our priorities? Do we reflect things of eternal value? Things God has uniquely planned for us? Or are we neglecting the things that really matter? Let's not allow the everyday tasks to crowd out our calling. The Bible says in Ephesians, "I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." How can we re-prioritize this week?
