Just Do It?

We live in a “just do it” world. Charge that hill now. Move that mountain today. By whatever means necessary. Don’t slow down to ask God. Just get it done. 

But we’re not called to do things for God unless we’re first willing to do those things with God. At his pace. In his timing. For his glory.

That’s because God has higher priorities. He places relationships over results. He values presence over productivity. Efficiency is rarely his chosen path for ushering in the eternal. Instead, he looks for those who are keeping their eyes on him. For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. (2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV)

You can’t do everything. So in this “just do it” world, just do this: slow down, operate below capacity, spend time in the hidden places with God, and commit your heart fully to him. From that place, you’ll find yourself refreshed and ready for what awaits. Start there.
