The article from Our Daily Bread spoke to me today. Quoting from the article, " The lesson is: to get everything in the jar, you must always put the big things in first."
I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed recently. Remember the previous post about not having everything i want and looking forward to so many things? Well in fact, i am looking forward to too many things. After schooling for 13 years at least, i have more than enough experience of how my holidays are going to be like. Wasted. This time round, im so sure i will not let it go wasted again. That is why, i have many things in mind. All planned so that i make full use of my holidays. But i realised, that i cant handle so many things at one go. Which is probably why, God decided to slow me down. He decided to knock some sense into me.
" But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
-Matthew 6:33
Indeed, sometimes we bustle around, wearing ourselves down. But at the end of it all, what are we actually bustling about? Isnt it more important that we do everything for God's kingdom's sake? Thank God for reminding us from time to time and for helping us differentiate between the temporal and the eternal. (:
