The Gift of Too Much

I have heard it said that if you want something done, assign it to somebody who is already busy. You are the type of people who fall prey to this type of thinking. Which may lead you to the conclusion that you have more than you can bear.

I recently watched a video of a preacher who spoke about the gift of too much. If you want to watch it yourself, click here. (This link is to his whole series. The message I watched is #3)

If you prefer a summary (becasue you are too busy to watch another 30 minute sermon) here are the high points.

  1. The Gift of too much forces us to put something down. We must learn to prioritize and learn to say "or" rather than "and" when considering how to spend your day.
  2. The Gift of too much forces us to hand something off. We must learn to live as the Body of Christ and realize that God has equipped others to cooperate with us in accomplishing His tasks.
  3. The Gift of too much forces us to give something up. We must learn to cast our cares upon God!
