Get Started and Never Quit

I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
—Philippians 3:14


Has God told you to do something and you intend to obey Him at some time, but you just have not gotten around to it yet? Good intentions are not obedience. You have not obeyed until you have taken the action that God instructed you to take.

I encourage you to get started moving in the right direction. Begin to pray about your vision. If you do not have one, pray for one, and in the meantime, become associated with somebody who does have one. Get around a visionary and you may become one.

Get started moving in a positive direction. Speak positive things about yourself and your life; believe that God can use you.

Get excited! It feels better than being bored. If God has given you a vision, you must be committed to bringing that vision to pass under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Establish short-term and long-term goals, then move toward those goals daily in prayer and in action.

Visions do not come to pass overnight, so you must be patient and just keep moving even if you do not see any visual evidence of success for a long time.

Get started and never quit!

Do This:

Start moving in a positive direction. Take steps of obedience. Don't just have good intentions. Be a doer of the Word.

Honor God for the days of rest.
