Today is Your Day

When people around you seem to be content where they are, you may need to move away from them to get to where you need to be. You can’t allow people, places, or things to stunt your growth. God has a plan for your life which you will only achieve by being in motion; pressing towards His destiny for your life. Every one of us has been placed on this earth for a purpose. It is your right and your responsibility to fulfill your purpose. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. We must make a conscious effort to pursue our purpose. Nothing happens when you do nothing. Everything takes effort. It takes effort for you to listen to or read these words. It takes effort to decide to change where you are and what you are doing. It takes effort to create a plan to move forward. It takes effort to make steps in a new direction, or continue in the right direction. And it all starts with you. No one can do it for you. Words can motivate, people can encourage and inspire, but you must make the effort. Don’t depend on someone else to join you or pull you along the way. It’s great to have someone in your corner to cheer you on with each step, but you must keep moving. Even when there isn’t anyone physically there, God is always there. Oftentimes we depend on validation from man to know we are moving in the right direction. What more do we need than the encouragement of The One who placed us on this journey in the first place. Just as the Lord God said to Joshua in Joshua 1:8, He is saying the same thing to you and me. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Now is the time to move forward. Now is the time to make a decision to follow the path that has already been laid out for you. Now is the time to put the past behind, gird up your loins, move forward and not look back. What are you going to do today to make a change in your life?
