Doing His best work TODAY

Are you always trying to figure out what God is going to do next in your life? Are you worried about missing your destiny/calling?

If you have a Type A personality like mine, you will often "try" to rush or get ahead of God. We are so focused on where we think we're going (our goals), we forget that God does His best work in us TODAY, and during the whole process.

After all, if your relationship with Him and your spiritual maturity level is not in line with the future equipped "you", what good is that?

We partner with God in our goals and dreams as we live out our lives in faithful integrity in the "now." That partnership requires that we believe He has GREAT things for us, position ourselves (prayer, giving, serving) to hear His voice, be good stewards in the "now" and then take functional faithful steps when He prompts us.

I like the way Pastor Furtick put it today in his daily email today called "Waking Faith: The Connection Between Now and Next"...

"Your attitude and approach toward what you're doing now is more important than your speculation about what's next."

"Have you been tempted to fantasize about what might be next and neglect what God is doing now? If so, you may be short-circuiting the process that God is using to prepare you for the promise."

Be your best right now where you are and God will promote you in good time, in a good way, with earthly and eternal good results and rewards.

Luke 16:10 (ESV)..."One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

Matthew 25:21 (ESV)..."His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master."
