Have you ever been in a meeting, conference, conversation or
any interaction and feel like your head is spinning?
"If you only follow these
(5) steps in my book, life will be perfect." Purchase my book and "Have A New
Kid By Friday." Simply follow the 'South Beach Diet,' and be slim and trim. Everyone is telling us how to improve managing
our home, kids, workout routines…and the list goes on…and on…I think you get my
point.
Information overload can become just that - overload. How do we know where to turn? What is the answer?
Stop spinning for a moment, and take encouragement from these words found in Paul's letter to the Romans 8:5b (NIV).
"…but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires."
Hear me on this one - being productive, efficient, and focused are not bad things. The trouble comes when our focus is off. Scripture needs to lead the way.
Listen to it in another version from the Message, and see if this resonates with you:
Romans 8:5 (The Message)
"Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them – living and breathing God."
Let us be known as people who "trust God’s action in them" and not simply a person who trusts in a business plan, the latest gadget, app, or 5-step book.
