Devotion 11

Today as I’m continuing with Ordering My Private World, I’m deeply impressed by how Jesus handled His seemingly overwhelming life, His every word being monitored, every action analyzed… However, Jesus never hurried, nor did He ever had to play catch-up.

Sometimes we find it easy to make promises, verbalize intentions, express convictions with seeming passion… However behind the talk we fail to follow up, we lose ourselves in visions of work to be done, which always remained to be done.

Two things the author mentioned.

1. Jesus understood His mission.
2. Jesus understood His limits.

Simple and straightforward!

Both require asking guidance and inner strength from God to compensate for one’s weaknesses.

Jesus was never to be caught short on time. When caught up in the busyness of life, I wish I could make sound decisions with my time too.

When money is limited, one budgets. When time is limited, the same principle holds. Time must be budgeted.

Jesus sought time in solitude with the heavenly Father before every important decision and action during His public ministry. He was spiritually sharpened. He was aware of where true importance lies, where the priorities are. And where your priorities are, there your time will be.
