THAT ONE THING
Have you noticed how quickly a day goes by? Or is it maybe because itÂ’s summer and the kids are on vacation? Yet it just seems to me that time is flying at supersonic speed. You start a day intending to get certain things done. But you end it not having completed everything you intended. But we donÂ’t think that the day is a total loss if we were unable to accomplish everything as long as we achieved specifically THAT ONE THING. What is true of each day is also applicable to our entire lives. So our FF for today invites us all to reflect on THAT ONE THING.
Everything in life needs THAT ONE THING for it to be just right. The chef looks for THAT ONE THING to make his meal perfect. Couples are looking for THAT ONE THING to ensure a happy marriage. The struggling sports team looks for THAT ONE THING to put them in the winnersÂ’ circle. A local congregation searches for THAT ONE THING that will grow their numbers. Everybody is searching for THAT ONE THING.
THAT ONE THING is our raison d'être, our purpose for living, the very ground of our being, the core of who we are and what we’re living for and will even die for. When we discover THAT ONE THING it’s as though each day is pregnant with possibility and potential. We don’t have time to waste. Each moment is centered on THAT ONE THING. Recognize that THAT ONE THING for you may not be the same as THAT ONE THING for me. So pursue THAT ONE THING with all you’ve got in you.
Can you answer the question what is THAT ONE THING for you? We observe how sometimes people go through life with no sense of direction or purpose; they appear to be constantly restless and hopping from one thing in life to another. It could be moving from one relationship to another; from one church to another; from one career to another. ItÂ’s as though their lives are out of alignment because theyÂ’re searching for THAT ONE THING. But the greater tragedy is to be looking and yet not even knowing what youÂ’re looking for.
I want to make a recommendation. Let the search for THAT ONE THING begin by finding yourself in GodÂ’s presence. HereÂ’s why: it is in GodÂ’s presence that we see our sinfulness; we see GodÂ’s holiness; we understand GodÂ’s purpose for our lives; we know the purity of real love, joy, forgiveness (to give and receive) and patience. Let GodÂ’s presence be your starting place for THAT ONE THING.
Till next Friday, if you’ve not yet discovered THAT ONE THING for you, begin your search by going into God presence. Let THAT ONE THING for you be what it was for the psalmist who declared ‘the ONE THING I ask of the Lord – the THING that I seek most – is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.’ (Psalm 27:4). Rest assured that when you’ve discovered THAT ONE THING life will never be the same.
