Don’t Drop Your Baton
“Look straight ahead; don’t even turn your head to look. Watch your step. Stick to the path and be safe. Don’t sidetrack; pull back your foot from danger.” Proverbs 4:25-27 (LB)
On yesterday, Don't Drop Your Baton",was the basic concept and the instruction that the Lord had given. We were instructed to:
- Acknowledge that we all have been given a baton to carry
- Value YOUR baton (As individuals your baton has been personalized, and you shouldn’t expect it to mirror exactly anyone else’s.)
- At any cost, don’t permit the enemy to convince you to relinquish – whether accidently or on purpose – your baton.
We must understand and expect that opposition will always attempt to counter act our every endeavor. However, when we seek the face of the Lord, He will always, and alway (no s) supply us with the strategies required.
When we referred to the story of Mephibosheth, we can recall that his nurse dropped her “baton”. Although the entire incident was noteworthy, and her reasoning valid. The fact still remains that – in her haste, she dropped her precious baton. Which resulted in permanent disfiguration of an innocent person.
Therefore, as endtime “baton carriers” we must be certain that when the spirits of:
- Fear attempt to surround us, one of our reference points will be - Joshua 1:9
- Frustrations come to confuse our thoughts, we rely on - Exodus 14:14
- Disappointments present themselves to discourage us, we will remember that our baton was decided by the Lord – even prior to our birth – Psalm 139:13-16
So, just remember that the Lord has given to each of us a baton….a job to do, something that is precious, and very valuable to His kingdom. If you truly value your baton, you will stay committed at any cost – and never, ever drop your baton!
