Achieving your Goals

What is the difference between wanting something and actually realizing it? Action. If you are hungry do you just sit and wait for food to fall out of the sky? No! You get up and fix yourself something to eat. If you don't have any food you go out and by it. Or if someone offers you food, you take it. My mother says if you don't eat what's in front of  you, then you're not really truly hungry. It's a principle that can be applied to life in general. When you really want something, no matter what your means are you will take action to obtain it. I think that really applies to your relationship with God. Jeremiah 29:13 says "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with ALL you heart. James 4:8 goes on to say "Draw near to God and he will draw near to you..." Could it be any plainer? I'm speaking to myself. Academically, if you want to make the dean's list you can't fool around the entire semester, ignoring all the readings for your course, and then expect to make A's, let alone pass your class. The only time you can not do something and still expect to obtain results is starving yourself to lose weight. And even that abhorable task requires the willpower to ignore your hunger pains. We can't--I can't be lazy. What is it that you really desire in life? The reality is that there are no shortcuts. You have to work for your goals. Pure and simple. Not that there won't be opposition even in your efforts, there most definitely will be. But you still have to try. At least with God you have the assurance of His infallible words that if you do make an effort to trust Him, He will "make the dark places light and the rough places smooth" Isaiah 42:16. What have you got to lose?
