Don't Answer the Phone

Don't answer the phone.  Don't look at the text.  Don't check to see if your friend put up a facebook status or liked your facebook status.  Don't check your e-mail.  Don't answer your door.  Don't look when someone says, "Come here." 
So many things and people want your time.  You have 24 hours in each day, and if you answer every text, page, voice mail, and every person who knocks on your door, you could be running into a hurricane, and you may not survive. 
Who runs your day?  If someone says "Jump,"  do you always jump?  Do you run your day?  Does facbook run your day?  Does your blog run your day?  (oops, did I type that?) 

An idea:  before answering your phone, ask your Lord Jesus Christ if, out of all the things you could be doing, if he wants you to answer the call.  It may be that you have to let it go to voice mail and call them back if he so directs you.  In this way you are taking steps to let the Lord Jesus Christ run your day.  He is our master, and technology is not our master.
