The Perfect Time


Are you one of those people who is always waiting for the perfect time to do something? Let me let you in on a little secret. There is never a perfect time. Yep, that's right. I use to believe that there had to be a perfect time for me to do what I wanted to do. After years of sitting and waiting for the perfect time to accomplish my goals I realized that the people around me were out accomplish their goals because they decided to do something. I was still in the same place accomplishing nothing. As a Christian I believe that God orders our steps, however, we must keep stepping for Him to order our steps. God is not going to map out a path for you to walk on if you are not taking steps. A path can only be created when a place is walked upon. 

It is never a perfect time to accomplish your goals you just have to take one step at a time and you will see the results. Stop thinking about your goals and start doing the work to accomplish them. My advice to anyone thinking about starting out on your own is to count the cost but, “throw caution to the wind.” You have to be like “Curious George” because success is accomplished through trial and error. You have to be willing to test the waters. Extraordinary things are accomplished by ordinary people who are not afraid to look crazy before others.  Peter, one of Jesus' disciple was not afraid to look crazy before his peers. While they were out on a boat one night, Jesus came walking on the sea to them. When they saw him they were afraid because they thought he was a ghost. Jesus called out to them and said do not be afraid it is me. Peter was so amazed at seeing Jesus walking on the water that he said, Lord, if it's you command me come? Jesus told him to come, and Peter went walking on the water. While the other disciples stood in the boat saying to each other, where is he going, he is crazy. Peter wasn't worried about what the others were saying, he knew Jesus was doing something he had never seen before and he wanted to do it too. He didn't think about all the reasons why man cannot walk on water, he just stepped out of the boat and walked. 

Although the time may never be perfect to step out maintaining an attitude of gratitude is important as you make your steps. Be thankful for your blessings no matter how small they may seem. Jesus told His disciples if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can speak to the mountain and it will move (Matthew 17:20). Don’t judge your success based on others but on your ability to accomplish your goals, dreams and plans you have implemented for your life. Never leave God behind. Keep Him at the head of all things, for when He is the head everything else will fall right into place.


Live empowered to make the right decisions and become successfully you. Extraordinary things are possible. Remain focus on your goals. Keep God as the head of all things. It's never too late to start dreaming. 

QUOTE OF THE DAY

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY

Matthew 14:22-29
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

Meditate on Words that Bring Life.

H ow you think about life results in the quality of life you live. Your thoughts are important, so meditate on words that bring life. In spite of all the obstacles I have faced in my life, one of the things that have kept me going are these words the Lord spoke to me when I was much younger “you have creative power within you, and everything you touch will prosper.” These words have been my guide in my ups and downs. I held on to these words as truth and life. I believe everything God has spoken to me and I know His words will never return void. I choose to meditate on words which bring life.  As a Christian I choose to meditate on the words of God. I also listen to godly-men and woman who are leading successful lives based on biblical principles. I read books and listen to audio messages which fosters positive encouragements and personal developments. I also write my own affirmations and speak positive things over myself at times. Most times than o...

Legacy

Jeremiah 29:10-13 10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.  11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Most people in life can trace their family line as far back as four generations. Yet some of us don’t know our biological parents much more to know our grand-parents. Ever since I was a child I always heard my mom and her sisters talked about their parents as if it was some kind of mysterious fairy-tale.  Though my mother and her three siblings are of the same mother and father, it is a mystery to me how two of them ended up with different last n...

The Next Step

Most times God uses the least expected person to set His plan in motion for your life. Sometimes we get so caught up in our expectation of others that we missed what God is trying to do. You know what I'm talking about, we get angry when the person we expect to show up for us but don't. We get angry when a family member or friend who has the “key” to the door we want to get in still they refuse to open the door.  We develop an entitlement complex. Because we believe that they should give us what we want when we want it, and how you want it; without considering whether or not God desires for them to be a part of His plan for us. God does not share His glory with anyone. Therefore, He will not allow anyone to assist you who will try to take His glory; nor will He allow you to see anyone else as God in your life.  He alone is God. When He open doors, God wants you and me to recognize that it could only be Him.  Don't allow your frustration with people t...
