Staying on Task

It is so convenient to get discouraged and worn thin with doing GODS WORK (so we think). Sometimes we get so busy doing God’s work we tend to forget to invite Him along with us. If that is the case then we are not doing His work but our own. If we are doing our own work then “yes” you will tire and wear thin.  The bible gives many examples of how our strength comes from God so therefore any work that is ordered by Him then you would assume He will give you the energy to do it.

Phil 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”

I don’t think it is the fact that we can’t do it or forget God is our rock and our strength I feel that as we get so busy doing we forget what it will take to get it done.

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do , work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord and not for man.

Phil 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Proverbs 3:5 Lean on, Trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

And when we feel completely overwhelmed we are instructed to redirect our thinking…

Psalm 143:4- 5 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed. I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hand has done.

So in other words if your swallowed by life and hanging on by a thread, fix your thoughts on the good things that God has done or provided if you can’t see what He is doing now.

You may not be where you want to be but aren’t you glad you’re not where you were before you had LIFE?

We must be Careful in how we WALK, Seek Wisdom from the Lord, and Be Alert to the Lord’s guidance and opportunities to allow Him to love others through us. (CWA)

WE are given a great task issued from our Father and any task He has given us, as long as HE is invited every step of the way will be successful. The task will be fruitful and your joy in doing it will be abundant. However, If He isn’t invited, if you are doing the work for men and not the Lord, if you grumble and not humble. The task will be worrisome and difficult for you to bear.
