Wanting What I Get

Focus… 

It’s amazing to me how elite athletes stay focused on their game despite the distractions all around them, or how actors and artists keep their focus on their craft and avoid distractions. 

It’s a great testimony to how focus leads to the end result. 

Spiritually speaking, we have the same opportunity with our focus. 

Practice in prayer over the years has taught me that when I focus my prayer life on being in tune with God’s will for the person, place, or thing I am praying for...

I get the blessing to be free from praying to GET what I WANT

 ....and instead....

 I have the Spirit, heart, and mind to WANT what I GET from my prayers. 

How’s this working out for you?

Lord. Let us pray to want what we get instead of praying to get what we want, AMEN.

Motives and Will

He sees everything… 

I love watching people. 

I learn so much from others. 

It’s interesting to me to watch folks as they interact with others. 

My experience has been that different situations bring different actions and behaviors. 

For instance, at the drive the focus is on the order, as both the attendant and the customer are trying to purchase a pre-established menu item, pretty much a no-brainer. 

Then there is the grocery store and the need to be in the shortest line. 

The type A personality versus the passive is fun to watch. 

The Type A will go all out directly to the short line and heck with whomever has the misfortune of being in their way, 

while the passive personality will be aware of others and see the type A and clear out of the way letting them go first. 

My favorite is the unexpected assist. 

Recently I observed a mom with a toddler attempting to fit all her bagged purchases into one hand while deftly grabbing car keys and freeing the other arm to hold the baby because the cart would not go outside of the store, 

all the while shoppers moved around her as they exited the store. 

She almost went into shock when I asked her if I could help. 

After the shock wore off, she saw my smiling wife near me and figured out quickly I was not a psycho stalker, but she politely refused and gave us a heartfelt thank you for caring enough to ask. 

Remember folks, keep the eyes of your hearts open to see who the Lord puts in your path. 

It’s always good to offer assistance for the right reasons… 

Check your experience… 

 “In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious.  And the good deeds done in secret will someday come to light.” 1 Timothy 5: 24-25 

Lord, let us perform good deeds with the only motive of being of service to others and not for personal gain, AMEN. 

“It depends on us and on our motives.” Big Book pg. 70

What's Your Power Source?

What is your power source?.

Red Bull, coffee, Protein shakes, Power Bars, and all sorts of other products promise us energy. 

Many other products promise to enhance our power. 

Bodybuilders and folks into fitness and exercise routines gain physical strength and stamina, but, ….

WHERE do we really get our POWER from? 

We see stories from time to time in the mainstream media of folks doing superhuman feats to save another or help someone in danger. 

I bet if you take a look at the events in your lifetime there have been a few times when you have had to “dig deep” to find that extra needed effort to complete a task or endure an unpleasant situation. 

Where did that power come from? 

Honestly, I know I am lying to myself if I try to claim it came only from me. 

I know for a fact that through my faith in God and my walk with Jesus, that God equips me with the power I need. 

 How about you?..

Where does your power come from?..

Check your experience...

“We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves.” Big Book pg. 45 

Lord thank you for giving us the power we need to not only accomplish the task or endure the situation but also to allow You to work through us to help others, AMEN. 

“With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.” Ephesians 3:20 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
