“This one thing I do”~ Phil. 3:13
The Apostle did not mean the only thing when he mentions one thing. He was speaking of the main thing. He could walk and chew gum at the same time, but the former was the most important. Chewing gum would not have gotten him where he was going.
Paul majored on the majors. Far too many are majoring on minors. We do it in our daily duties, doctrinal beliefs, as well as a score of other things pertaining to life and religion. Any good housewife and cook knows it’s the main course that counts. The side dishes are not meant to be the main dish.
In any given situation, decide what is top priority, what really counts, what is most important to God as well as to yourself. Then do it with everything that’s in you. As David said, when readying for God’s House, “Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God.”
It is good to remember the thing at hand, big or small, menial or noble, could possibly be the last thing we ever do on earth before meeting God!
