Breathe In Deeply & Slowly Exhale
Because….
You’ve Only Just Begun!
No doubt all of you have completed various tasks during your lifetime. I would just like to remind you that, simply because our Father has not called you home yet - your life still holds more for you to accomplish! Without regards to your age, educational achievements, or your current economic status, each new day gives you the opportunity to embrace a new concept, idea, investment or venture!
I can remember when I was a child, in preparation for one of my graduation ceremonies in school, we had to learn a song entitled, “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Although I don’t recall the lyrics in their entirety, I can remember these phrases: “so many roads to choose”; “watching the signs along the way” and “we start out walking but learn to run”.
Philippians 1:6 states “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (NIV). Therefore, whatever dreams, ideas, projects and the like that God has given to you; (yes, God gave you the thought…you just didn’t conjure it up in your mind!) … He will make available the proper conditions for them to be manifested. Your current circumstances really don’t matter! You still have a lot to accomplish. My paternal grandfather, who was a college graduate; lived on this earth to be 105; and had his first hard cover book published at the age of 82!
There are still so many accomplishments for YOU to achieve….. You’ve only just begun!
Many times we have said that we are waiting on God….but that’s just an excuse whose expiration date has long past! Begin TODAY by dusting off that area of your mind that is holding the padlock to every “good work” that has been initiated. Don’t be concerned about what you are lacking. Our Jehovah Jireh will provide!
As the lyrics of the song state: We’ve Only Just Begun.
“So many roads to choose”. In reference to this I’ll say…. But as of today; pick one and abide therein.
“Watching the signs along our way”. It is imperative that you stay alert in the realm of the Spirit; God will always give you the proper signs and direct your path.
“We start out walking and learn to run”. Yes… and now is that time when we need to pick up our pace and swiftly be about our Father’s business.
It doesn’t matter how many achievements you’ve already attained. It doesn’t matter how many areas appear to present a “lack or deficiency”. Whatever excuse you may use… doesn’t substantiate the fact that your future still holds a treasure chest of jewels….waiting to be discovered.
The ball is in your court! Your future has no limits or boundaries….except those that you establish within the framework of your own mind! God wants to use you far beyond what you can ever imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
As I often say, “Today is the first day, of the best days, of rest of your life….”
Always remember……. You’ve Only Just Begun!!!!
“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, (procrastination, idleness, undisciplined motives, etc) and let us put on the armour of light.” Romans 13:12
