The last couple of weeks I have stayed with the same
theme; I have asked you (and me) what is really important… I've asked what we
are gonna do about it? This is a common theme questions in the world of sports and
in our daily walk. Since I am repeating myself a little bit I will remind you
that we all desire to be successful; we all desire to win; we all want to do
well and do right… yet most tend to struggle.
So with the realization that I am beating the same drum
this week, I again warn you (and me) of “Tomorrow-itis”! We simply do not take
enough advantage of today…
The reason this is fresh on my mind still is due to a
verse I came across in my quiet time last week. It is a verse that I have read
many, many times (as I try to read a chapter in Proverbs every day.) It is a
verse dealing with giving what you can… and doing it while you have the ability
to do so!
Proverbs 3: 27 Do not withhold good from
those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you. (NKJV)
“Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you. (NKJV)
Proverbs 3: 27-28 Never walk away from
someone who deserves help;
your hand is God’s hand for that person.
Don’t tell your neighbor “Maybe some other time”
your hand is God’s hand for that person.
Don’t tell your neighbor “Maybe some other time”
or “Try me tomorrow”
when the money’s right there in
your pocket. (The Message)
Did you catch it? Take care of what you can today!
If you are reading this and you are an athlete with dreams… get to work
today!
If you are a believer with a desire to serve Christ… get to work today!
Give what you have while you have it!
