A casual meeting with the Lord

As I was driving to work this morning, I began to reflect on the crazy day that I had yesterday and then started to mentally plan the new tasks I had to accomplish today. After accepting the fact that today could potentially be more hectic than yesterday, I had a thought come to mind that I dwelled on most of the day. The thought was.... If I knew that I was going to meet the Lord tonight, (not for eternity, but more of a casual conversation over dinner or coffee at Starbucks) what would I do differently today. Would I worry so much about meeting these deadlines? Would I let these tasks consume all of my energy? 

As I thought about these types of questions and dwelled on the answers, I realized that the Lord would probably not be concerned with the number of emails that I responded to, how much call volume I put up for the day, or even that a meeting with the boss went well. He would want to know how much time did I invest in others to glorify Him? What did I do to invest in His kingdom? 

If you knew that you were going to talk to the Lord tonight, would your conversation on breaks change? Would you be more prayerful throughout the day? Would you stop and talk to people about Jesus? This is the mindset that each of us (I am preaching to myself) should have continually. Busy is relative; we are all very busy, but take the time and remember the purpose of life.

Please continue to pray for School of Fish Ministries. God has opened some doors and we want to make sure that we are walking through the right ones.  We are on an amazing journey and we are looking forward to see what God has in-store for us.
