Act Now! Supplies WILL Last!
“For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”
Phil 2:13 (NIV)
“God works in you.” Don’t miss the wow-factor here. The Universe-Creator, the Red-Sea-Splitter, the Dead-Resurrector is at work in YOU. Not only has He worked to create the desire for something great for His Kingdom through your life, He works in you for the power to act, to do, to implement.
And His “good pleasure” in you is not fulfilled until you take action.
The same electricity that is available to run a passive little radio is just as available to run a swishing, swashing, filling, draining action-oriented washing machine.
In the same way, God’s power is able to accomplish in you not only the ideas themselves, but the action to implement those ideas! Heaven’s supply is available to you to DO!
And action is where the excitement is.
Action is the connecting point between God’s work in you and His good pleasure. Desire is there—necessary and important—but desire doesn’t guarantee anything tangible.
Action is everything.
The movie doesn’t get filmed until the director says “Action!” The money, the bed, nor lunch doesn’t get made without action.
Action is what brought the Brooklyn Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, and the Empire State Building out of the realm of intangible thought and into reality.
As one man said, “nothing happens until something moves.”
Talk, plan and dream all day, but until something moves, until someone takes action, talking, planning and dreaming are exercises in futility. Might as well watch TV.
What holds you back from taking action on your God-given dreams? What holds you back from doing something about the what-should-be’s in your life?
Refuse to be like the majority out there that’s just shouting, “Ready!… Aim!… Aim!… Aim!… Aim!” but they never fire.
Take action! Act, knowing that God’s power is there for it and His “good pleasure” over your life is fulfilled in it.
Set a godly goal. Make a plan. Plan the work. WORK THE PLAN!
