GET IT DONE

Last night before going to sleep Jay decided he had a list of tasks for me to complete today.  Yes I had others things I wanted to get done, but business first.  I listened to my instructions, wrote them in a note and tried to get all the details straight.  When he finished he said, “Just do those things, I don’t want to have to think about it, don’t ask me about them just get them done.”  My instructions were given to me very directly, so I will get them done! 

Have you ever thought about the tasks God has given you?  God has given you the tools to do whatever it is on His list for you to do.  Just like Jay was telling me to get it done, the Lord is telling us to get it done.  So I ask, “Are you getting done what the Lord wants you to get done?”

Our time on earth is short; it is a shame if we don’t embrace the call that God has placed on our lives.  God has certain tasks that are specifically designed for us to do.  Jesus refers to God’s will as His food in John 4:34.  God brings us spiritual nourishment.  Doing the tasks that the Lord has given us is food to us.  We are nourished not just by what we take in but what we give out. 

You may saying, “OK I want to do God’s will, I want to be spiritually nourished, but I don’t know what that call is?”  The Lord gives us certain talents and we discover these through trial and error.  If you fail in one area don’t be discouraged.  Keep on searching.  Practice and persistent have an amazing ability to discover the talents and gifts within you.  The most successful people are the ones that play the hand that God has given them. 

 It would be easier if the Lord would just hand us a list of tasks directly and say, “This is what I want you to complete while here on earth,” but he doesn’t want it to be that easy.  What He is telling us is this, “Find your gifts and talents, use them for me, begin today, and don’t ask Me questions just get it done.”
