I always find it interesting how each Monday I realize I did not do half of what I planned for the previous weekend.
Yet in spite of this, before the next weekend I still make mental (and some times written) lists of the things I want to accomplish.
But life has a way of , well, getting in the way.
Perhaps rather than making a list of all the things we want to do, or wish we could do, we should simply ask the Lord for a filter that would cause our eyes to see what he would have us do.
As James said,
"Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." James 4:13-15 (NIV)
Let's seek to find what the Lord's will is for each day; in this way our plans become his, and we will succeed.
