Follow Through

Yesterday we talked about catching up when we let things get behind. As I said, this is a challenge to me as well. Sometimes we get reminded of how much we have let things go or of how lazy we have become and we get really motivated to change, and then in just a couple of days or weeks we are behind again. We have good intentions but no lasting convictions. Remember Proverbs 6, if the ant does not gather in the summer he will starve in the winter. If the ant intends to gather every morning, but then allows small things to distract him, he will never accomplish what he needs to do. Sometimes we feel good just because we "meant" to get it done today, but meaning to is not enough. We have to eliminate all of the small things that get in the way of us fulfilling our purpose. We each have been given a purpose in this life from God. How are we doing at accomplishing it? Every day is a step in getting it done, but if we allow ourselves to be distracted we may get to the end of life and see that we missed the point of our existence. God bless
