Invest Your Energy Wisely

Have you ever wondered why change feels so elusive? It’s not about working harder—it’s about choosing better. Imagine your energy as a watering can. Whether it’s poured onto flowers (your priorities) or weeds (distractions), both will grow. The key is deciding what deserves your attention and commitment.

In a world that constantly pulls us toward trivial things, it’s easy to let our most important priorities—the “big rocks” of life—fall by the wayside. Maybe it’s your marriage, your health, or your faith. These things don’t just happen by chance; they thrive when nurtured with intention and love.

Think about it: are you scrolling through your phone or watching one more episode on Netflix instead of investing time in what truly matters? The change you seek requires consistent, focused action. If you want to strengthen your relationships, build a better future, or grow closer to God, it’s time to stop squeezing these priorities into the leftover spaces of your day.

Want a better marriage? That means daily patience, listening, and time.

Want to be a more engaged parent? It’s about setting the phone down and giving undivided attention.

The Apostle Paul reminds us to “ever follow that which is good.” Change doesn’t happen by accident, and transformation isn’t magic; it’s a choice to focus on the good and invest in what’s truly worthy of your energy.

This isn’t just a productivity tip; it’s a heart check. The Bible reminds us that we’re called to pursue what is good and praiseworthy. The word "holy" means “set apart.” You were made to live differently, to focus on what is excellent and eternal.

Here’s a challenge: before you move on to the next thing on your to-do list, pause. Identify the areas of your life that need your best energy. What’s one thing you know you’ve been avoiding? Whether it’s a difficult conversation, a health goal, or time in prayer, make it a priority this week.

And remember, what you allow to steal your energy today will shape your tomorrow. Pour into what uplifts, strengthens, and grows you—and watch how your life blooms.

You were created for more than mere busyness. You were made to thrive, to love deeply, and to live with purpose.

Your energy is finite, but its impact is infinite when invested wisely. So today, take a moment to identify the "big rocks" of your life. Ask yourself, “What do I need to stop watering, and what deserves more of my best energy?”

You were created to be set apart, to live intentionally, and to thrive. Let’s make that vision a reality. Start today by investing wisely.

Blessings and energy to you as you invest in what matters most,

Brock
