Day 27: Multitasking Monday

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?
