Thought for the day

Saw this on David Allen's website and thought it was just a good reminder that the problem of overworking or trying to do more than God wants us to has been around for a while. There are times that we need to look at the lesser good that we can accomplish.
The enemy often tries to make us attempt and start many projects so that we will be overwhelmed with too many tasks, and therefore achieve nothing and leave everything unfinished. Sometimes he even suggests the wish to undertake some excellent work that he foresees we will never accomplish. This is to distract us from the prosecution of some less excellent work that we would have easily completed. He does not care how many plans and beginnings we make, provided nothing is finished. - St. Francis de Sales
