And 'to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the
strength,' and 'to love one's neighbor as oneself,' this is much more important than all whole
burnt offerings and sacrifices."
You and I may feel that we are tossed and turned in every direction by those things that are
urgent,
while many important things are left undone. It's time we caught our breath and began
to immerse ourselves in God's word and presence, so we will know and do that which is
important.
(Mark 12:33
NRSV)
When Dwight Eisenhower became President he tried to arrange his administration so that only
urgent and important matters were called to his attention. Every thing else was to be delegated to
lower echelons. However, he discovered that urgency and importance seldom appear together.
Dear Jesus, draw me close to God, as I tackle the important things. Amen.
