Good Morning everybody! As part of my daily routine, reading those inspirational phrases gave positive thinking. I want to share with you what I have just read. And I’m sure you will learn from it.
Most of us can only do only one thing well at a time. If we desire to succeed, we must practice the art of concentrating our gifts, abilities, and attention on the target. God has set before us.
Practically speaking, what do I mean by focus?
Define your goals with realism and clarity in the light of your calling. As believers, we are not trying to amass wealth here on earth. We are trying hard to maximized our effectiveness for God’s kingdom and minimize the waste of time and other resources.
Jesus said:
Do not lay up for yourselves treasure upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.
Discover your God-given talents and stay within your circle of expertise. Businesspeople call this “sticking to the knitting.” Find your niche in the market and seek to fill it through hard work and excellence. Exercise discipline to turn down (or refer) inappropriate opportunities (the gift of saying “no”). No one can do everything well. May God show us the one thing, or few things, we do best.
