Nov 2018 – Removing Barriers Releasing Potential

Food for thought.

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

God’s coffee or do we focus on the cup?

How often do we as individuals or leaders strive to get the best? There’s nothing wrong with wanting to have the best or to better yourself.

My question is in how we go about getting the best, do we strive, get anxious, do we walk over others or get stressed and does what it says on the outside of the tin, does it really impact what’s on the inside?

The bible tells us in;

1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.’ In short who do we rely on ourselves or God, hey I’m sure you will all say God!

Why is everyone so busy?

Do you focus on the golf balls or the sand in your life?

The bible tells us in Colossians 3:2 “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things”. How many of us take time out to read, pray and listen to God, I ’m talking to myself as well. We can come up with what we think are legitimate responses, I ’m too busy, I’ve got to do some work, I’ve got to see to the children etc.

We generally don’t organise our time effectively or efficiently. At one time I used to use the PAL system perhaps its time to go back there again. PAL stands for Projects, Activities and Leisure time. Whatever you do the key is to find leisure time each day.

Joyce Meyer recently challenged people to a 30/30 challenge which is a 30 min a day reading the Bible for 30 days! Now that really challenged me as my initial mind set was not what it should have been. I began to think about how I spend my time, which in turn led me to the golf ball story, my wife and I shared at every event with the charity we ran.
