WINNING this WINS-DAY!! How about YOU??
There is no video today because the day has been jam packed with appointments and meetings. Just to give you a sample of the day: I worked on upgrades we are making for supporting our church music ministry, I performed website upgrades and marketing efforts as a board member of a community foundation, met with an advisory board as we worked toward the creation of a tremendous new mentoring program for teen students in our area, worked on a multi-church women’s ministry project, and enjoyed lunch with a dear friend. Then, there was the rest of the day!
In fact, this entire week has had its share of many successes, sized in small, medium and large! For that, I am immensely thankful!
Now, I don’t want to mislead by sounding as though I did all these things today, and many others throughout the week, and life is just sailing smoothly along with nothing rocking my boat, because that is not my reality nor is it realistic on any level.
Successes come from efforts exerted over time moving toward an identified goal. Share on XAnything worth doing is going to bring its own set of challenges in order to be accomplished. So the questions to be answered are 1) What are we doing? 2) What is the value of what we are doing? 3) Why are we doing it? 4) Have we identified the end goal and are we taking the necessary steps to accomplish it?
When we are seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness to be manifest in our own lives and serving His Kingdom by pouring ourselves into our work for the purpose of God’s glory and honor, He promises to provide all we need and to crown our efforts with success. (Matthew 6; Proverbs 3:5-6)
Tonight, at the end of this highly productive day, I will dwell on these promises and rest in this truth:
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
May your day and your week be FILLED with WINS in CHRIST and may each night hold REST for you to be RENEWED in HIM!
