"Dangers of Multi-tasking"
"But this one thing I do...I press toward
the mark for the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians
3:13,14
"A weakness
of all human beings, " Henry Ford said, "is
trying to do too many things at once. That
scatters effort and destroys
direction. It makes for haste, and
haste makes waste. So we do things all
the wrong ways possible before we come to
the right one. Then we think it is the best
way because it works, and it was the only
way left that we could see. Every now
and then I wake up in the morning headed
toward that finality, with a dozen things I
want to do. I know I can't do them all
at once."
When asked
what he did about that, Ford replied, "I go
out and trot around the house. While I'm
running off the excess energy that wants to
do too much, my mind clears and I see what
can be done and should be done first."
Don't get
overwhelmed today with a thousand things to
do. Our world is set on multi-tasking,
but no one can do several things at once and
do them well. Focus on the main thing
that must be done and do it. When that
is accomplished, then move to the next
priority. If you will ask God for
wisdom, He will give it to you. Life
does not have to be an overwhelming
experience. You can achieve great
things if you will focus on the main
things. Use your extra energy walking
with God everyday, and ask Him for direction
for the day and it will be yours.
