The course of pursuit that you embark on in your life is directly tied to your actions. Some start ventures, keep it going for a while, then let it die off. Others choose to wait for someone else to start so they can see if it is successful or not, then jump on board. Many are hesitant to even take the first step in getting started. In today’s generation, the Believer has heard how to claim blessings. They have heard that declaring the success will bring the success; that asking for the blessing is what precedes the receiving of the blessing.
While all these statements have circumstantial validity, the message hones in on the preparation it takes to build something that will last. Much too often people’s outer appearance sways the majority into thinking that he or she must be doing something right. Having materialistic things, a seemingly stable marriage, degrees, financial freedom.... having "it" no matter what “it” may be means nothing unless it can withstand the test of time. Understanding how to maintain God’s blessings comes from establishing a solid foundation. A foundation built on faith and learning how God’s love and desire for us are expressed through these blessings.
Preparation has the power to shift results. Walk out of every venture you take on each day in solidarity with Christ Jesus. Align your actions with love. Overcome obstacles with joy. Never stop investing in your growth. The competence and confidence that you have in everything that you do in life is just as important as how you are perceived.
Keep Working... Keep Growing... Keep Believing
