What Am I Doing?

Hopefully at some point in your life you have asked the question, What Am I Doing? I have learned that being busy does not necessarily mean that anything is being accomplished. God has not called us to be busy, but he has called us to be effective. Sometimes we mistake being busy for being effective. Although being busy can make one feel good about himself, what God has truly called us to do is to be actively involoved in being fruitful.

We need to stop and ask the question of What Am I Doing periodically so we do not crowd our schedule with things that are not producing fruitfullness in the kingdom. One good example of this is found in the subject of prayer. Everyone knows that one of the keys to revival is prayer. If you were to ask any pastor what he felt was necessary to spark a revival flame in his congregation, he would probably answer, More Prayer. Yet how infrequently do we spend that extra time in prayer for revival, but rather spend our time focusing on the business of ministry.

Take a moment, ask yourself the question! It may surprise you how time is being spent. One of my prayers is that I would not be busy, but be effective!
