Colossians 3:23 is an excellent way to live your life successfully!  When you do your living unto the Lord, it enables you to have purpose. It opens you up, also, for many blessings unimaginable. If we are going through our day-to-day in order to please ourselves or others, we end up many times not living up to expectations. We become discouraged. After all, we are still in a fallen world.

In order to get everything out of the days that we have, Ephesians 5:15-16, it takes faith. I know in my head, it is hard for me to step forward if I don’t feel one hundred percent.  It takes putting aside the present and focusing on what the future outcome will be. The days are not getting better, but are getting more ungodly. We do not want to lose out on the opportunities God has given us today!

As I viewed Laren Daigel’s video, “These Are the Days,” the picture of children playing came into my mind. Children have a way of coming out with their intents without hiding any underlying motives. They are confident that their parents have everything under control. They are not second guessing everything they attempt.

Yes, my prayer is that we ask Jesus about all of our plans; it is not in blindly stepping out. Lord, help us to come before your throne boldly, Hebrews 4:16, knowing you will accept us; help us to not waste time by trying to figure life’s path out on our own.  Thank you that you are the Great Shepherd!  Amen!
