Thought for Today: “Efficient or Effective?”

Efficiency is doing things right: Effectiveness is doing the right things.

What we have to do is re-evaluate life, or could I say “re-value” life. What we may have thought as being valuable today may not be as important or as valuable as we thought, in fact, it might just be empty and worthless.

John Wesley said, “I judge all things only by the price they shall gain in eternity.”

This means if I want something and have to cheat or lie to get it, what good is it, and then, what will it end up costing me when eternity rolls around?

If we don’t “re-value” life as God sees it, then a lot of that which we do will be worthless, and that which is worth more we’ll miss out on.

And so, in the end how will we know that the right things are that we are to do? It is all found in God’s word, the Bible.

Of God’s word the Psalmist says, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:103-105)
