Celebrate the small wins

I'm sending you all virtual high-fives! :) 

Zechariah 4:10 "Do not despise these small beginning, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin..."

Take time to celebrate and appreciate progress. Other people's successes (or failures) have nothing to do with the call on your life. If you're busy comparing your beginning to someone else's middle, discontentment will reign. Today, commit to taking an inventory of your wins, and thank God for every last one! 

P.S. I apologize for my mini hiatus but I'm back! I also post tons of inspiration on all of my social media platforms, so follow me there! :) Happy Tuesday!

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58

...as unto The Lord

"Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him; he refreshes the spirit of his master" Proverbs 25:13 

The messenger in this verse can be likened to an employee and the master to an employer. The Bible tells us to work as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23 ). As believers we should be described as teachable, adaptable, trustworthy, dependable, and a pleasure to be around. We should be a help and not a hindrance. How are your relationships with your superiors? How can you refresh their spirit? How can you serve God while serving others? Happy Wednesday!

"Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people" Ephesians 6:7

Matthew 24

"So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." Matthew 24:44 

This chapter describes the second coming of Christ. If you've ever seen or read the Left Behind series, it's a pretty accurate depiction. We must have a sense of urgency. We don't know when Jesus will return. We don't have time to "get our life together" in our own strength and in our own time. We have to take a continuously look at our heart. What are we spending our time doing? Kingdom building or things of this world? (See Matthew 24:45-51). Get busy about God's work and have a happy Monday :)

Proverbs 20

"A farmer too lazy to plant in the spring has nothing to harvest in the fall" Proverbs 20:4

As the saying goes, "That'll preach!" Haha in order for us to fulfill God's promises for our lives, we have to put in work. We may have to get up earlier or go to bed later, but that season won't last forever. Do you have an idea that God placed inside of you? Are you actively seeking Him for direction (Proverbs 20:24)? Or do you value movies, television, or your social life so much that sacrificing them would be too difficult? Demonstrate your faithfulness to God because He's always faithful to you! Happy Friday :) 

"Don't be too fond of sleep; you'll end up in the poorhouse. Wake up and get up; then there'll be food on the table." Proverbs 20:13
