Be Alert or Fail

From today’s reading…

We’ve been sold a bill of goods.

God, Himself worked six days a week.

Adam and Eve tilled the soil and tended the garden while living in Utopia before the Fall.

But we all think sleeping in, having breakfast in bed, sitting on our rears, and getting daily massages is the good life.

How many religious, business, political, or even athletic leaders fit that description above?

Elon Musk works like a fiend, as did Steve Jobs. I know they are extremes but even Warren Buffett reads at least six newspapers in a day…every day.

Nick Saban has lost 32 assistant coaches in 10 years at Alabama yet still continues to win. 

Churchill worked 18-hour days during WWII. 

The point is, to live is to work and to work is to live.

Humans are goal-achieving creatures. You’re not fully-alive unless you’re working on something, including yourself.

To achieve your goals you must work. If you’ve achieved your goals, you need bigger goals. 

And the biggest goal of all needs to be to enter into His rest, which means you need to…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.

Now go sell something.
