How often have you said you wish there was more time in the day?  Today was to be one of them for me.  Having been gone for a week in the peak of gardening/planting season really brought on my drive to get everything done in ONE DAY.  God reminded me this morning that He has given me each day to do what needs done.  My rush to do is only me.  He is not interested in my rush to do my things.  He is interested in me doing OUR things.  I know He is good with my gardening passion.  He just doesn’t want it diminishing what He wants done specific to the ministry work.  Today has some of that in it and I’d love to neglect it to get my selfish gardening done so I can be selfishly content.  I write this and see just how sad this truth is.

Thee is so much opportunity to serve God when we intentionally look, listen and pray with spiritual purposes.  I don’t want what God shows me to do to be hindered by my selfishness.  I do have time to be gardening in this day.  I’ll simply extend what I could do if I had the whole day into work for two days.  That pleasure of completing what I love to do will be done in two days rather than one.  Half of pleasure in working for me is always about finishing well.  So, I’m telling myself I am not lazy because this work took two days.  I am taking time to do what God wants done also.  I think that pleasure will be far greater in God’s eyes as it is completed.  There is nothing like seeing the smile of God when HIS WORK is done well.  That’s what I truly want to get done today and the rest of my life.
