The journey takes me through what many may consider the
lackluster scenery of 1
Chronicles 3-4 but there are glimpses of God’s gracious purpose.
Every name listed is important and today every person is important to God. What
each of us should strive to do is find out what we would like to be remembered
for and get involved with a passion to make it happen; finishing the race
victoriously with enthusiasm.
I received an email a while back from a friend and
in this email was a story of a lady who had started a long time ago to plant
one daffodil at a time in a field. Now the field is covered with beautiful
yellow daffodils. This story points out that if you start something positive
even if it’s small, over time you will build something of beauty.
Mark Twain
said one time, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore – Dream - Discover.”
Each day with God we should be inspired to get
things done now and never put things off because our opportunities to do great
things may pass us by. Give it all we have while we can? We should live each
day we have like the song by Tim Mcgraw called “Live Like You Were Dying”. The
song puts things in perspective. Some of the lyrics in the song go I loved
deeper, I spoke sweeter, I watched an eagle flying, live like you were dying.
I remember seeing a TV program called 20/20 many years
ago. They interviewed Christopher Reeves after his horse riding accident which
left him paralyzed in 1995. In the interview, he said that when he saw an able
bodied person he would say to himself, "Man Just Go for It"! That’s
some good advice. You see God has the eraser. He’s present to help us make the
needed adjustments if we get off course. So go for it! If you feel a job is
above your head, express your concerns in prayer and ask for the necessary
skills. Ask for good helpers. Most of all, believe that God has given you a mission.
God wants us to accept our lot in life. He gives each of us talents and ideas.
It’s up to us to start using what gifts we have and giving God the glory.
This day with God will be amazing because He
inspires us to live out loud. We can pray like Jabez, listen for instructions,
and be honorable people. Opportunities to do great things are right in front of
us so let’s give God our best.
