Dear Father,
Help me to get “life” into perspective that everyday living may not consume my time leaving nothing for my unique purpose.
Dear Child,
Do not loose focus!
Focus brings life into perspective.
Focus directs your steps.
Focus sets your boundaries and protects your treasure.
Without focus your time, resources and abilities just drift through an
hourglass like grains of sand, without accomplishing eternal purpose.
Don’t pour out your life without focus and purpose.
Day by day stay focused and add daily to fulfilling your purpose!
To receive a calling takes a moment.
To fulfill a calling takes a lifetime.
Thus saith Papa
1 Cor 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Neh 6:3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
Nehemiah was enticed, misunderstood, questioned, lied about, offered a safer way, and even the religious leaders tried to fill him with fear, and yet he stayed focused and never once deviated from “his great work” of building for God!
Challenge: Oh Lord, may I have the same spirit of steadfastness of purpose that marked the life of Nehemiah.
Personally I know this to be true. As a young woman I always knew I was called to do a work for God by teaching His Word. But it wasn’t until now in my later years I culminated this calling into a book. It has taken a lifetime of mountain top and valley walks with the Lord to have an authentic voice to pen the message of the book. “Developing a Secret History with God”.
