Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
If you check carefully, Jesus concentrated on the 12 out of the 70, approximately 20%. He also concentrated on the 3 (Peter, James and John) out of the 12, approximately 20%. You’ll discover when others have departed he makes out time to teach and explain the parables and secret things about God to the 12!
Matthew 24:3 “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?”
Mark 4:34 “He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.”(NIV)
Friend, settle down, locate the 20% effort that gives you the 80% yield. In the same vein focus 80% of your time and energy on the 20% of your work that is really important. Don’t just “work hard and smart”, work smart on the right things!
Who among your friends helped you the most or contributed significantly to your success in 2014? You should consider spending more time with them come 2015! Also 20% of your friends will cause 80% of your problems, the idea is for you to discern. Be wise!
Epictetus (55-135 AD) a first century philosopher said this about prioritization, “This is our predicament over and over again we lose sight of what is important and what isn’t.” Don’t ever let this happen to you!
If your priorities are not in order, your life will not be in order. If your priorities are not right, you won’t be right!
Let me welcome you to December 2014, the Lord has brought us successfully to the very last month of the year 2014 we celebrate his faithfulness. Coming this far could only have been God! I celebrate you my friend for making it this far, congratulations. Get set for compounded blessings. Happy new month Beloved!
Love your BiG
