“No man ever served God by doing things to-morrow. If we honour Christ and are blessed, it is by the things which we do to-day. Whatever you do for Christ throw your whole soul into it. Do not give Christ a little slurred labour, done as a matter of course now and then; but when you do serve Him, do it with heart, and soul, and strength.” -Charles Spurgeon, Morning Devotions, Nov 26, 2007
If the Lord is calling you today, then give your whole heart to him. Regardless of yesterday and the the days previous, drop your ideas of a “perfect” start and just start. I can get lost in all my preparations and never actually get the deed that needs to be done, done. There is a place for preparation and organization and yet the two often satisfy our emotional need to have “felt” as if we have done something but the truth is that “something” was never done. Contemplation is nothing more than its definition, it is not accomplishment. It is not that we are to act without thinking but we must not let all our thinking become the very chains that bind us. Sometimes serving Christ is a simple as obeying, he said to care for the poor so we care for them, he said to feed the hungry so we feed them. The deed is not to be considered, but done.
The execution while planned does not need to be complex but pure and glorifying to the Lord, if the execution meets that criteria then roll on. What has He been calling you to do dear Sister in Christ? -Get the deed done, not tomorrow but today!
Luv Ya,
Babbles
