Susan LaffertyTyranny of the Urgent. Back in the day, this small booklet by Charles E. Hummel captures my attention. And convicts my heart.
He quotes a man who told him, “Your greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out the important.”
What crowds out the important in my life today?
Does God see?
In crisis, I cry out. Not knowing how to pray.
Anxious thoughts and inner storms buffeting. Ocean waves pushing me to gasp for air.
Feeling weak.
Does He have a plan in this scary place? Has He forgotten where we are?
He is the God who reveals. And draws people to Himself.
At the school where our children study in Singapore, a woman sees the invitation for mothers to gather and pray.
So, she comes. Curious. Seeking.
I speak her heart language. So we meet later. And I explain the gospel.
In a subsequent meeting, she repents and believes.
