What can we learn from HIM?
KNOW who you want to please (John 5:30) -- Jesus never let the fear of rejection manipulate him. No one can pressure you without your permission. You can't please everyone. Even God can't!
SET clear goals (John 8:14) -- Jesus said, "I know where I came from and where I am going." Preparation prevents pressure but procrastination produces it. You work by either priorities or pressures.
FOCUS on one thing at a time (Luke 4:42-44) -- Jesus knew how long to handle interruptions without being distracted from his primary goal.
DON'T try to do EVERYTHING yourself (Mark 3:14) -- Jesus enlisted twelve disciples. We get tense when we feel it all depends on us.
MAKE a better habit of PRAYER (Mark 1:35) -- No matter how busy Jesus got, HE FOUND time to GET ALONE and PRAY. A daily quiet time is a great stress decompression chamber.
TAKE time to ENJOY LIFE (Mark 6:30-31) -- Balance is the key to stress management. Work must be balanced with FUN and WORSHIP.
YES!!!!! What a great message from Rick Warren, this morning! I definitely need to work on these this year! I need to make sure I prioritize my time. We have to understand the importance of time, no matter who you are or what you do or how much money you have, TIME does not stop for anyone and we all get the same amount. We have to prioritize it or it will prioritize you. The Bible says,
"Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is." (Ephesians 5:15-17 AMP)
You have to understand the importance of time. We have to make sure we make time management a top priority.
I hope you are encouraged as much as I am to want to make changes in how I view time. Remember you only have one life to live and tomorrow is not promised. Make the best of your time when you have it.
