Prepare for Great Things

Today is July 2nd and a most important day in US history. This is the day that the Declaration of Independence was approved. Talking about preparing for great things! The founders placed their names and lives on the line literally when thy signed that document. They were prepared to give all they had for the defeat of tyranny and the establishment of freedom.

Sometimes I think we wander through life never really taking stock of the opportunities that we have for great things. We've not planned for anything great or prepared for anything great and we don't seek anything great. We wander through hoping to see, feel, and happen upon something.

Let's stop wandering and get in on the great adventures of life. Drop off the mediocre and the mundane and dare to jump in there for a difference in someone's life. Really do some great things. Here's some suggestions: Pray for someone today, encourage someone, challenge yourself and others to go the extra mile, find a cause and stick with it!

For many of us it means being who we are called to be and saved to be and that is like our Lord Jesus. Prepare to let him live through your day and your week. Put your life on the line for the cause of Christ.
Make a declaration of dependence on his spirit.

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, 

but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it." 

Mark 8:35

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, 

but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." 

Mark 10:45

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. 

He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." 

John 8:12
