MULTITASKING~
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.
Not living in the moment
because the moment you are in is another moment.
MULTITASKING~
You are probably doing it right now.
MULTITASKING~
Not being present because you are being present somewhere else
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...think about it.
But JESUS was always present
even on the cross
when HE was thinking about you & me.
HE was present
or HE would have never got on the cross
so 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 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" (Luke 10:40)~
In the presence of JESUS.
BUT then their eyes met when
HE spoke to her~
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary" (Luke 10:41).
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!
INSTEAD like Mary did,
who sat at the LORD'S feet listening to what HE said~
"Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42).
So
let's lose the excess weight of
MULTITASKING
by
FASTING from it
and INSTEAD
STOP right this second
and
invite JESUS into your MULTITASKING mind.
Because when JESUS is present
there is no room for
MULTITASKING
as you just want to bask
IN HIS STILLNESS & IN HIS PEACE
& then is no need to do everything at once,
because you want nothing to come
between you & JESUS.
And then you will actually
get so much more done,
one thing at a time,
because
doing life with JESUS is doing life the only way
as HE is doing so much more than you could ever imagine
in the moment
because HE is our "WAY MAKER" (listen to the song below)
