I didn’t get anything done today.
“I didn’t get anything done today.”
“I didn’t get anything done today.” I literally said that out loud to myself last week. I had a whole list of items that I had intended to check off my list and most of them were still there. So I commenced with feeling bad for myself, beating myself up and wondering what I could have done better.
Then it hit me. That was a lie. I had gotten amazing things done that day. I had no less than 4 spiritual conversations with people that I am discipling in one way or another. I prayed with people. I shared testimony with people. We discerned revelation together. We even talked about ways that they could disciple others. There were many victories for the kingdom!
The truth is that I need a new scorecard. I have to realize that my “to-do” list may not be God’s. I have to stop submitting to the desires of my flesh to simply “get stuff done.” Rather, I need to submit to the leading of God’s Holy Spirit to have spiritual conversations with people that God is giving me the opportunity to disciple.
Truth is, I got everything done that God wanted me to (and I eventually got done with the other stuff too). How do you measure what it means to get stuff done? Do you need a new scorecard too? This new scorecard will lead us to be the disciples that make disciples and Jesus sent us to be!
