I'm talking to you
While
I'm texting someone else
While
I'm checking my email
While
I'm thinking about what I'm going to do next
&
Doing that too!
Multitasking~
Never getting anything done
because while you doing what you need to do
you are doing everything else that you need to do.
Multitasking~
Doing everything at once, but nothing at all.
Multitasking~
Not living in the moment
Because the moment that you are in
is actually another moment.
Multitasking~
You are probably doing it right now.
Multitasking~
Not being present because you are being present somewhere else.
So
How does multitasking keep you from being in the present?
Think About it~
What if Jesus multitasked~
While
He was feeding the 5000...
He was also
Walking on Water
&
Healing the Blind Man
&
Turning Water into Wine
&
Teaching the Sermon on the Mount
&
Calming the Sea
while
Eating His Last Supper
Hmm...
But
JESUS
was
Always Present~
even on the cross
because
He was thinking about you and I
or
He would have never got on the cross
So that
He could be
Present in your Present~
To walk with you
To wipe your tears
To strengthen you
To be your peace
To be your hope
To just be
all you need when you need it.
Have you ever tried Multitasking while being with Jesus?
If you have
you wouldn't be able to multitask
because you would be in the presence of the
One Who is Always Present.
Multitasking Martha tried it~
"As she was distracted with all her preparations"
even In the Presence of Jesus,
but then their eyes met the moment
He spoke to her...
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
but one thing is necessary."
Jesus had to say her name twice
probably because
She had to hear it twice
because
She was doing twice as much as what she thought
she had to do
instead of
Doing the most important thing first,
like
Mary did,
"who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what He said"~
Mary, who
"has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42)
Hmm~
Therefore,
Let's begin this week
by
Doing the most important first~
Inviting Jesus into our
Multitasking Mess
because
He is always in the moment
to take you
From Anxiety to Peace
so that
you will
get all that you need to get done
One thing at a time
Moment by Moment
and enjoy every moment of it.
FROM RAGS TO RICHES~
you are only one step away.
So how many things are you going to do right now?
