Motivation

"WHY?"

It's not just the question most commonly asked by every toddler on Earth, it's a fundamental question of human existence. It's the "why" that drives us, the "why" that motivates us.

If you have answered your "why" then you will likely find the rigors of life far easier to deal with. Any task or trial becomes more bearable when we genuinely grasp the reason for our struggles.

Do you have a higher calling or are you just living day to day, trying to survive? On the eve of a day when we as a nation stop and give thanks for the infinite blessings of our Creator, are you able to give thanks with an honest heart? Do you harbor resentment at the trial, the world around you, even God Himself?

My friends, our Father has called to an abundant life; a life filled with purpose. A life with the "why" set in stone and chiseled into a plaque on the wall. He has called us to a submitted life, where the "why" is left in the hands of an omnipotent, omnipresent, infinitely loving and powerful God who mapped each of our lives before the first star was set in the night sky.

1 Cor. 10:31 - So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Prov. 3:5-6 - 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.


I will sleep well tonight, knowing that my "why" is secure. This is not meant in any way to boast of my accomplishments or anything my body or mind can perform. This is yet another feather in the cap of the King of Kings who does all things well. All glory, honor, praise and power belong only to Him. He is the giver of all good things and right now I'm humbled to even be allowed to speak of Him.

Tomorrow, give thanks to our God for His infinite blessings. Give Him your "why" and let Him place it in safe keeping.

Be blessed...
