Efficient
Dear Reader in today's economy we have intense pressure to be efficient. Many times this pressure to be efficient takes priority over being effective.
Our world can look at things and say, "how do we make this happen faster." Yet somehow "Jesus the Carpenter" was completely effective in his calling in the time and circumstances he found himself.
This may not seem all that amazing at first, but upon reflection, it might have more benefit.
Jesus could have come to earth at any time, if he had arrived now, instead of taking days or weeks to walk around Israel he could have driven. Instead of talking to one's and two, and managing "a large crowd of 5000", he could have used the internet to reach millions.
Instead of relying upon "eye witnesses", he could have posted his Resurrection on Instagram for all to see.
But Jesus didn't
For some reason the time He came and the way He came was perfect.
Efficient, maybe not, but effective, completely.
So now to us, can we use the guidance of the Holy Spirit to take time to wait upon God's guidance, learning that His plans are effective, far more than our efficiency can ever be.
