FRIDAY, 9TH NOVEMBER, 2018.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “EFFECTIVENESS IS NOT DOING THINGS RIGHT,
BUT DOING THE RIGHT THING”
ANCHOR TEXT: “But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her”
Luke 10:42.
Effectiveness
is not measured by what you have done compared to what others have
done, but rather what you have done compared to what you should have
done. Thus, the core of effectiveness is successful completion of the
correct assignment. It is not doing things right, but doing the right
thing. It entails operating at the centre of God’s will.
The
effectiveness of a doctor is not determined or based on the number of
patients he/she attends to, but on the number of patients that get cure
of their disease. Similar, the effectiveness of a speaker is not
determined by the number of people that listen to him/her, but by the
number of people whose life get transformed by his/her message.
Therefore, you can be busy, and not effective. You can be active and not
progressive.This is exactly what
Jesus noticed about Mary, hence His comment in Luke 10:42. Martha was
very busy, but not in the right thing.
