A few years ago my wife gave me a desk calendar and one of the daily messages was “God doesn’t want shares of your life.   He wants controlling interest.”

All the things we do should be from God, for God and of God!  Some spiritual writers believe that the contemplative life is superior to the active life.

I think the most important element in the spiritual life is to pursue what God wants us to do!  It occurs when God has “controlling interest” in your life!

Maybe our daily To-Do list should read like this:

1.  Prayer

2.  Be Patient

3.  Be present to my family

4.  Spend time listening to God

5.  Prayer

 

That kind of To-Do list will keep us close to God!

Take a few minutes reflect on what God wants you to do, and where the Lord is on your To Do List?

May God Be Praised!
