In Retrospect


Last night as I prepared for sleep, all of the days events and conversations came up for review. I thought about one conversation about how I should settle on something and do that well. The advice was given in love and I received it as such. But as I delved further into that statement I found some shocking evidence that warrants my propensity for multi-tasking.

Everything that I now do has assigned destiny and purpose. It seems at first that I am doing too much, spinning my wheels and engaging in multiple tasks and ventures. BUT everything that I now do has a specific purpose. It is not that these tasks are ongoing, I have taken on the characteristics of a serial entrepreneur, utilizing all of my skill set. Some will not understand the assignments given to me and may feel that I am hopeless. But I do know that I can turn to scripture to support my own behavior.
I have an advantage because I talk to and listen to my Father. It is his will for this time, He says to me, that I will accomplish great things in your life. I have promised and I will bring it to pass. I am the Lord Jehovah.

Understanding that my life was designed to touch lives from various walks, I must study and learn more about people and their way of life to reach them for Christ. God reminded me that in every facet of my life He was been there guiding me, encouraging me to do well with the gifts he has given. For this I can only exclaim, WOW! My Father has invested so much in me, who am I to sit down on the talents he has nurtured.

Now, I am reminded of an internet legend of how God gave the races talents and asked them to go and do something with those talents. The story states that every race except one was fruitful and duplicated the talents (money). "Sadly, God looked at His people and said, 'With what you have done with your talents, you may as well have buried them in the ground. Because of your slothfulness and lack of good stewardship, I will give your future talents to those who have the least. You have gravely disappointed me by not adhering to one of my most important admonishments: To whom much is given, much is expected.' "
