Do Something!

Do you see problems in the world and community around you and get frustrated by what is going on? Many of the the things that bother you may not even cross someone else' mind. The reason it concerns you more than others is because you may hold the antidote to that world or community ailment.

I believe that for every problem, there is a solution. And most of the time, we know what those solutions are, especially for our own problems. They just aren't always comfortable to implement. For instance, we know that if we have a financial problem, we may need to be more disciplined. In relationships, we may need to be more compassionate. And if we have a problem at work, we may need to leave! :-)

Well this week I want to urge you to do something. Do something that will push you in the direction of reaching the solution to your problem. It doesn’t matter how big that something is; what matters is that you do it! Then once you do something toward reaching your desired outcome, do something else.

This is the key to accomplishment…commitment and consistency. Once you have decided to go forward (commitment), do it all the time (consistency). Before you know it, you’ll be at your destination. Your financial problems will be solved, your relationship issues will be gone, and you’ll have made peace with work!

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
~James 2:14, 18

What is it that you know you need to do? What have you been putting off, that if done, would put you on track to reach your goals? I'd love to hear your comments...

I'VE PUT OFF A RELATIONSHIP FOR SOME YEARS NOW. I THOUGHT IT WOULD GET BETTER BY GETTING MARRIED BUT IT ONLY HINDERED MY WALK WITH CHRIST. I'M GUILTY OF PUTTING MY RELATIONSHIP BEFORE MY WALK WITH CHRIST ON MANY OCCASIONS. I KNOW THAT I'M BLESSED AND HAVE AN ANNOINTING THAT I HAVE YET TO WALK IN BECAUSE OF THIS RELATIONSHIP. I CAN EXCEPT THIS BETTER NOW BECAUSE I'M GROUDED IN MY WORD AND I'M HOLDING ON TO GOD'S UNCHANGING HAND. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD I WILL WALK IN THE ANNOINTING AND ABIDE BY HIS WORD. KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS FOR I KNOW THIS WON'T BE AN EASY TRANSITION.

GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY!
