As I was washing dishes last night, I was listening to a podcast by Michael Hyatt titled "So You're Overcommitted. Now What?" In it he talked about managing your workload by focusing on doing the next most important thing. Immediately, I wondered, "How do you determine what the next most important thing is?"

As I pondered this question, it became clear to me that I often wrestle with this question because it depends on a more important question that I have not committed to, "What is the goal? Where am I going?" Because once you know where you're going the next step is much easier take.

So, where am I going? I am going to a perfect reflection of Christ -the glory of God. That's where Jesus went -the express image of God. And, He encourages us to follow. In John 14:4 Jesus says, "And where I go you know, and the way you know."

When you know where you're going, it becomes easier to determine the next most important thing to move in that direction. Where are you going?
