Passionate Pursuit

Trivial Pursuit is a game, not a way of life. – Anon

Gideon was content to eke out an obscured, hidden life; but God said ‘No way!’ AMEN!

Motivation – it’s what fuels winners, successes. The desire to be a success drives them to be passionate about their craft – to work at it, sweat at it, give it all they have. It becomes their purpose. The fact of the matter is God created each one of us for a purpose. And just as God is passionate about His creation, within each of us is a passion He’s given us to somehow make the world a better place, make life better for those around us, and make His name known among everyone. The trick is to find out what you’re passionate about and ask God to help you make it work for His glory, that will give our lives purpose, direction, fulfillment, and use for God. There is no reward nor overtime pay for procrastination. Doing the work of God is a responsibility for each of us. Well, today is here, and God is waiting, so “if it’s going to be, it’s up to…..”

Until tomorrow……

Winning Ways

Winners have simply formed a habit of doing the things losers don’t like to do. – A. Gray

True David had a cadre of mighty warriors and fighting men trained and at the ready, but he always sought the Lord first regarding the battles. Wise indeed!

“Figure it out for yourself my lad, you’ve got all that the greatest have ever had….,” and so goes the prose that tells us we are all very equal. What separates us is how well and how often we use what God has gifted to us. Life takes DISCIPLINE, and discipline is borne out of HABIT. We are the sum total of all the hours we put into developing our habits. The great news is that if we don’t like them God has gifted us with the ability to change them and has promised to help us. If we don’t like our habits, today should be the day to change them. If we do like our habits (God-focused, of course) today is a day to even better refine them. God leaves the choice to us. But if “we are more than conquerors” God expects us to be winners!

Until tomorrow…..
