Colossians 1:18 ~ He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
With so much to do everyday things can get confusing. We all have a multitude of responsibiltiies and it seems the task list grows daily. We all get to what we can and mark a few tasks off of the list daily but it seems we lose ground daily, adding more to the list than we get marked off.
It used to drive me crazy and I could take no mental or emotional rest. As well, it seemed the most important things always got left off the list.
As the old quote says, "A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." is a great quote to live by but most of us acquiesce to the urgent demands of others and leave off the most important and potentially meaningful parts of our own day.
Things have changed for me. I start the day off putting my Jesus first. Then I do my best in my own weak way to allow the Holy Spirit and energy of Jesus to have first place the remainder of the day and attempt to do every task in His name and unto Him.
I have been overusing the word TRANSFORMATIVE but I don't really know any other word to use these days. This new life in Christ has been transformative.
Each day since Saturday, August 21, 2021 I have done my best in this weak flesh to give Christ preeminance in my life. Life has become more meaningful and exciting to me.
I have always lived a full life or a WIDE life with many experiences but now I am living a more DEEP life and enjoying experiences much more deeply.
So, sometimes simplicity clears up all other confusion. It is simple for me. Allow Christ to be first and put connection with Christ first everyday. If nothing else gets done, nothing else gets done. Surprisingly, I am getting much more done.
His yoke truly is easy and His burdens light.
I love you Jesus.
