Did you know that many people... maybe even yourself have the perspective that they are busy and productive and doing things right......but they're not getting the results they want. In most cases busy-ness has allowed them to feel productive while they have never focused long enough on doing RIGHT things, but just doing THINGS right.
If we realize our fault in not making a decision to pursue RIGHT things... then how do we make that determination?
I like to look at principles and not rules and instruction. Principles are those things that are timeless and work in ALL situations. You may have a different opinion, but I choose to look at Proverbs for many of those principles that ALWAYS work. Proverbs 21:2 makes it clear that its not just an intellectual decision. We must use the minds that God has given us, but we must foremost consider what our HEART is telling us. There is a TRUTH, not a truth for each individual and situation, but an ultimate TRUTH that we must seek and allow to guide us.
For me this is a daily process. It would be easy to say that I've decided that I will seek God's truth and abide by it, but my desires and immediate satisfaction get in the way. So daily, the journey requires diving into the TRUTH and seeking to apply the principles that will never fail.
May today be a day of RIGHT things and not full of busy-ness just doing THINGS right!
