Plan your Day

6 May 2011

Isaiah 14:24 The LORD of hosts has sworn: "As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,

The importance of something that needs to be done is measured by the attitude towards that something. So often I forget to do something and if I had to be honest I would say the reason I forgot is that I had more urgent things on my mind. It is easy to remember things when you are in quiet place with very little to do, but when every thing is clamouring at the same time and urgent and important things need to be done then it is not so easy. This is why diaries are important, reminder notes, and in the last resort getting someone to help you to remember. My problem is that in the clutter of life I forget where the diary is!

It helps then to get back to basics and to find the measured pace in the day, by first starting the day in meditating on what the day should produce and then setting out the time frames for this to happen. When we deal with the important things to ourselves we are often seen as selfish, yet it is when we focus on solving urgent problems, they are usually someone else’s. To be able to plan ahead and to keep to that plan is not always feasible, but is better to plan than operate out of chaos. This same principle should apply not only to our physical day, but our emotional and spiritual, we need to make time for those things that are important, before they become urgent.

Be encouraged today to take a moment now and plan your day.

David
