Are you productive multiplying or are you just busy?  There is a big difference. And knowing which one you are doing can mean whether or not you are looking at the bigger picture or sweating the small stuff which may be wasting valuable time.

God only commanded us to do one thing: To be fruitful and multiply. He didn't say be busy with nothing to show for your time. A lot of us are caught up in running around with our heads cut off like chickens versus thinking and have a point to our daily activities.

Today I took a step back to see what is the bigger picture for my life. Are all my activities in alignment with the big picture, the vision that God has given me for my life and ministry? Because if not, time to hit the delete button on time wasters.  I just hit a one year milestone in my career and I can say that I have taken seriously God's command to be fruitful and multiply. I can see evidence of being productive, versus busy in my own life.

Where are you? Are you being fruitful and multiplying? Have you accomplished things on your to do list for your dreams and vision for your life that you set out to do one year ago? When you look back over the last year, do you see progress and that you are better off today than you were yesterday? 

Time waits for no one. So please, stop being busy. And be fruitful and multiply.

And remember to, stay blessed!
