"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."
~Proverbs 14:23~
This is one of my favorite verses in Proverbs, because every time I read it I am challenged!
Some of you may know that I am finishing up my high school subjects, planning to be completely done by Christmas time. I am finding that it takes much focus and determination to accomplish all that I need to get done each day! Something that keeps me encouraged and even excited to do my work, though, is remembering that this is my calling for the season of life that I am in right now. I am walking in the Lord's will, following in the training He has laid out in order to prepare me for His purpose in the future!
Let us not waste a single moment of the time of life we are in today!! If we desire to live for the glory of the Savior, then we should be excited to wake up every morning with the knowledge that we are being trained for the fulfillment of our calling in Christ.
I encourage and challenge you, brothers and sisters, to press on in the name of our Lord! May the greatest yearning of our hearts be to follow hard after Jesus.
Rejoicing in Him,
ashley
