Under Direction or Off in all Directions?

From the classic bestseller devotional God's Best for My Life by Lloyd John Ogilvie:

'There is always enough time in any one day to do the things Christ wants us to do!

If we are about to go under from pressure, it is probably because we are off in all directions without His direction. He has called us to be faithful, not frantic. We play God by trying to handle more than He has willed for us.

A Christian can have extraordinary power for life's demands if he is open to the peace of Christ in the midst of the demands. He has not expended his energies on anxious fretting about alternatives.

How much of what we are doing is an extension of God's will for us?

If this were your last year to live, what would you do with it? What would you continue doing? What would you delete?'
