Not waiting on perfect circumstances


Have you ever said, I am going to wait until I ____________ before I__________.
I know that I have done it many times. I am going to wait until I get my money right before I buy a home, have a baby, etc. etc. Well praise the Lord, I have a home and a baby, but it didn't happen when I got my money right. It happened because God said it was time to happen.

Listening to God is the key to everything. When God tells you to do something, Do It. Don't procrastinate until you think you got all your ducks in a row. Just do it and watch God line everything up according to His will. In Ecclesiastes 11:4 (NLT) it says: "If you wait until everything is perfect, you will never get anything done."

What a word from the Lord! We are often paralyzed by the fear of things not being perfect. But guess what, it's okay if it's not perfect, as long as you do your best. We are not going to do everything right, but as long as we have a heart to try and do it right, then that's good enough. So what are you waiting on perfect circumstances to do? Are you holding back because you are already thinking it might not be perfect? What blessings have you missed out on because of your waiting for the perfect circumstances? You probably could have been had what you are waiting on, but because you are waiting on perfect circumstances to do it, you're totally missing it altogether! Think on this: Perfection can be the enemy of Good!

As I kick off a new day, I am just going to do what I know to do. I trust God enough to know that everything I do for Him will work out for good.

Be Blessed, Stop Procrastinating, Live On Purpose, and Trust God with your life...He's the one that gave it to you...so why not!
