What is stopping you from doing the things you want? What are you doing or not doing to make yourself successful? Basically What is your excuse? Because you only need one excuse! One excuse will keep you from your dreams. This one excuse will stop you dead in your tracks. If you do nothing you gain nothing.
In the Holy Bible is a parable called "The Parable of the Talents". And in the book of Mathew Chapter 25 verses 25 and 26. He said" I was afraid and hid your talent in the ground, look, there you have what is yours." The Lord said to him, " You wicked and lazy servant, you know I reap where I do not sow and gather where I have not scattered seed." You see God gives to us and we are supposed to be useful with it. We are supposed to share with others, not keep anything hidden from others.
In the Book of Ephesians Chapter 5 verse 14 It says " awake you who sleep, arise from the dead and Christ will give you light." In other words you are being commanded to stop being lazy, quit using excuses, to stand up and do something. There is a war going on here. get involved find something you enjoy and start doing it. If you don't want to be on the front lines fighting find something else to do, maybe you can help, carry the bullets! Everyone has a passion for something. Figure out what you love to do and start doing it. Bill gates did not get rich in a week. It all started with a passion. In fact he never even graduated from College.
Again in Ephesians but in Chapter 6 verses 10-17 it talks about the Whole Armor of God. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against the flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of his age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore , having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery of darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
He wants us to do something, anything. We are not to sit and be idle. Obviously not everyone will attain greatness but maybe we can be helpful to someone who is. Do you have children? Maybe they are going to go do great things if they are shown how. They will only be as strong as the weakest link. Are you the weakest link? We are supposed to be powerful not pitiful. Maybe its time to quit saying "woe is me" and start being strong. Maybe now is the time to do something for yourself or for someone else. Its time to look around you and see what is going on. Now is the time to be truly great. Greatness come from within yourself, nobody gives it to you. You attain it, by the things you say and do. It is also true of honor. Honor is something nobody can give or take away. It is yours. What is the one thing you have always wanted to do but was too afraid to. Start small build momentum and do it now!
