Think of all the stuff you do in a day, a week, a month even a year; you are a very busy and determined person. Be careful though, that you do the important things that produce the best in you and for you. Overly busy people are not necessarily productive; they may just be far too busy. Jesus said to Martha, “You are worried and upset over many things.” Martha was too busy! Here is something I heard recently: 85% of what you do can be done by anyone else; 10% of what you do someone else could do; but 5% of the things you do can only be done by you and you alone. The final 5% of your productivity is the most important part. Figure out what that is, concentrate on that part, and you will be a successful person and a better disciple. Have you ever considered that God will hold you accountable for what He asked you to do, but that you never got around to? All of the 95% of what you do will not matter-only what God asked you to do (5%) is what God really requires of you.
Pay attention to the things that only you can do, and be sure to get them done! Then God will be pleased.
