Get On With It

At this point, you have no excuse.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!”

Like being taught your phone number as a child this scripture was etched into my brain at a young age, never to be forgotten. I assume it was drilled into me so that I’d be reminded when I needed it the most; with God, anything was and is possible. So then why was it so hard for me to TRULY believe that I could do the things that God had set out for me??

Two things made this valuable truth transform into words that were mindlessly muttered without taking root in my heart. For one, listening to the opinions and thoughts of others definitely did not make accepting this scripture as a truth that I could experience. The opinions and perceptions of others really played a role in how I made decisions for myself. I know we're taught to not care about what others think but the truth is I did and sometimes still do. Not only did the opinions of others stop me but my own doubt did as well. I could be super excited and wound up for a new opportunity and as soon as doubt crept in, I’d allow my mind to undo and unravel everything that was once held on to and believed in. 

I will admit that this is still a challenge for me even now but I have to remember to believe what God says and listen more to His voice over the voices of others and GET ON WITH IT! 

Maybe you are like me and have doubts about what you feel you should be beginning or staying committed to. Or maybe you are sure about what you know to do but fear creeps in because of what others say to you or their perception of you. Wherever you fall, remember that whatever God says about you cancels out anything that you or anyone else says. Be everything that God has created you for and don’t miss out all because of fear and doubt.
