Activity Is Not Productivity

Too many people are active but not productive in the areas that really matter, relationship with God, and relationships with other people. Key Verse: Ecclesiastes 2:17: So I came to hate life because everything done here under the sun is so troubling. Everything is meaningless—like chasing the wind. Key points… 1. Solomon’s Activity • The Bible makes it clear God doesn’t want us to live at a hectic pace all the time. 2. Solomon’s Futility • Everything he worked for was temporary. • His increased activity just led to increased stress. 3. Solomon’s Remedy • Be rock solid about priorities • Learn to say “no” to the secondary • Realistically evaluate your efforts • Place some margins in your life • Wherever you are, be all there.
