This is a time when many families are in task mode. As we celebrate our seniors this week, many of their families are in task mode making plans for the next chapter of their lives. With summer approaching, we are all thinking about things like vacation plans and outside chores that are coming back into the picture again. Our tasks may look different from one another, but we all have them! Many times I struggle to balance getting the tasks done and keeping my focus on Jesus. Can we be task oriented and still allow Jesus to take his rightful place in our lives?

Temptation is persistent. But so is God’s faithfulness. He always leaves a door open — and the people who endure are the ones who take it.
