What I've told you to do...

There are several things the Lord has already laid on my heart to do. It's not so much that I've just flat out said, "Nope, not gonna do it!" It's more that I've not been disciplined to follow through. When I asked for a challenge this morning, the Lord's answer was to practice following through with the things He has already put before me. Imagine that! 27 A lazy man does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a man is diligence.Prov 12:27 (NASB) 11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Prov 20:11 (KJV)

17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

Psalms 90:17 (NASB)
Whatever you do, do your work heartily , as for the Lord rather than for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. Col 3:23-24 (NASB)
Challenge for Today...I must use my daily time with diligence. I must spend my day working for His honor and glory, not choosing selfishly how to spend my day. My time is all His, and I must be willing to spend every minute of it according to His will and not my own, doing His work and not my own.
