Today, many of us worked hard. Tomorrow, many of us will work hard again. Many of us may spend the hours between today and tomorrow laboring over the question of how to make tomorrow better.
Often times the answers are additive. More effort. More resources. More people. More tools. More. More. More.
I invite you to kill the more disease today.
Instead, let’s answer the question with removal.
“Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.” - Luke 9:3
When Jesus sent the disciples out to preach the gospel and heal the sick, he sent them with the minimal resources to do their work. Had they brought any excess, productivity would have been sacrificed and the scriptures may have read quite differently.
So tomorrow, as you are heading out to do your work, ask yourself two questions.
What is my work today? This is probably the easy question.
What are the minimal resources I need to do my work? This is the hard question. May we think hard on it.
Remove something tomorrow, and may the results you seek manifest in a display of brilliance.
