Learning How To Manage The Moment

As I enter into a new, different, stressful, but exciting phase of ministry, I am reminded of the need and neccessity of learning how to handle each moment that comes. I know that we have heard the phrase, "Maxmize the Moment". This is so true. We should try and do our best and place our best foot forward at every instance. However, i think that while we are trying to maximize every moment, it is paramount that we manage every moment. By "Manage the Moment", I mean that we need to learn to think beyond the moment in regards to how our actions will influence our future and others. So many times, we just think about the moment, that we fail to realize the domino effect that each moment has to other moments. The things we do today can cripple our tomorrow. Who wants to "negatively" maximize a moment. Treat people today like they are important to your future. Treat each assignment like your future depends on it. Lets us pray to "Maximize and Manage the Moment". Soli Deo Gloria
