Tip of the Week: Stop This!
Stop saying you "have to"… you don't "have to" do anything.
- What if I don't?
- If #1 doesn't cause disaster, why bother?
- If it still needs to be done have someone else do it.
Spiritual Foundations
"And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:19, NLTWhen Jesus cried out, "It is finished!" the wall of sin that separated us from God crumbled, and God unleashed a flood of His grace upon us. That grace is still flowing toward us today, supplying whatever we need in this life, daily loading us with benefits!
My friend, the essence of God's grace is SUPPLY. When you are conscious of His supply, instead of the demands of the world, you are under His grace. That's when you will see His abundant provision for every need and situation.
So if you're having trouble finding a job, beyond trusting God for employment, see the Lord stirring up the dormant giftings and abilities that He has already placed in you. As you hone these gifts, the Word of God declares that your gifts will unlock doors of opportunities in due season and cause you to stand before great men. Don't just believe you'll be employed, believe God to also prepare, grow and develop you for a position of influence in your industry!
Feature Presentation "The Cure for Procrastination"
Procrastination is NOT a permanent personality trait. If you tend toward procrastinating, you can change. But first, let's look at some of the pitfalls of procrastination and why this is such a crucial problem.
Pitfalls of Procrastination
- Missed deadlines – Customers, clients, vendors, etc. are counting on us to complete a task or project. But when we put off completing that task or project, we fail to meet its deadline.
- Hurried or sloppy work – When we postpone a project and then rush to try and complete it, our work tends to be second-rate. We miss details and can't give the project the attention it deserves.
- Increased stress – When we put off an assignment until the last minute, we sentence ourselves to a life of stress until that assignment is finished. Under stress like that, our health and relationships tend to suffer.
- Missed opportunities
