Thought for the Day

Often, the stress we experience in life does not come because we are living without purpose, but because we are living for the wrong purpose.

Even as I type these words for you to read, I feel a little stressed. There are things I absolutely must do today, yet they don't seem to have much connection to the deeper purpose for which I believe I have been called and created.

Like Cicero said in Gladiator, “Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time I do what I have to.” That, in many ways, is an inescapable reality for all of us. Life is filled with responsibilities, obligations, and demands that do not always feel connected to our highest calling.

But we must be careful not to allow the urgent to continually crowd out the important.

Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

So don't just find time today—make time. Make time to pause, refocus, and align your life with the divine purpose for which you were called and created.

Don't spend so much of your day doing what you have to do that you neglect the reason you are here in the first place.

Live today on purpose—for God's purpose.

Thought for the Day

We are a comfort-seeking culture. Pillows and memory-foam mattresses promise us the best night’s sleep imaginable. The newest cars practically drive themselves. We can control the temperature of our homes, order almost anything with the touch of a button, and have food delivered to our door. We have become remarkably skilled at eliminating discomfort.

It may surprise us, then, to discover that God sometimes wants us to be less comfortable, not more.

Yes, God is a God of comfort. He comes into our lives to bring comfort, joy, peace, and hope. But there are also times when God comes to disrupt our comfort—to wake us from complacency, stretch us spiritually, challenge our assumptions, push us beyond our comfort zones, help us see beyond our small and self-centered worlds, and tear down the walls we have built through prejudice, fear, and even hatred.

Some of God's greatest work in our lives happens in uncomfortable places.

It takes rain to produce a rainbow, wind to lift a kite into the sky, resistance to build muscle, tension on guitar strings to make music, and pressure to produce strength. In much the same way, discomfort can develop character.

So don't waste your difficult seasons. Don't immediately pray for God to remove every uncomfortable circumstance. Sometimes the very thing you want God to take away is the very thing He is using to shape you.

The discomfort isn't intended to last forever—unless we refuse to learn the lesson it came to teach us. It is not meant to break you, but to make you; not to destroy you, but to develop you; not to defeat you, but to deepen you.

God is molding you, shaping you, and making you into the godly man He created you to be.

Don't run from the discomfort. Ask God what He is trying to develop in you through it.

Thought for the Day

Forty-six years ago, I launched into full-time pastoral ministry. In August of 1980, when I agreed to accept the call to a church in Lewistown, PA, several people who cared about me tried to talk me out of going. Some of those voices were very influential in my life and spiritual journey. But I followed my inner conviction. We had ten very productive years there and still enjoy many deep kingdom relationships from that season of our lives.

Over thirty-six years ago, I was asked to take a church in Lebanon, PA, and knowingly step into a very bad situation. Again, there were those who, in love, hoped to talk me out of it. Some even called me crazy because of the circumstances that awaited me there. But we enjoyed an amazing twenty-seven years there. I am so glad I trusted God's leading.

Since then there have been other shifts in my calling, and new assignments. Each one contained risks and uncertainty, but I was certain of God’s direction. They all led me to unexpected blessings and fruitfulness. Today, I don't have to wonder what life would look like if I had just been true to myself and followed my God-guided heart. I have lived it, and I am living it. I recommend you consider doing the same.

Thought for the Day

There are two kinds of perfectly good men—one is dead and the other unborn. Excellence, not perfection must be the goal of a man of God. And excellence is never better represented than when a man picks himself up after a fall.

Proverbs 24:16 says, “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked” (NLT).

If you have fallen lately, remember this: falling doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a failure. It’s what you do next that counts. Get up and get back in the race. Pick up where you left off. The God-honoring life awaits you.

Thought for the Day

Success is not a mandatory requirement to be a man that honors God with his manhood. The only expectation is that he gives his best in each area of his life. By so doing he takes himself from the “hoping to succeed” stage to the “positioning himself” to succeed stage.

Success is a by-product of something else, and that something is a passion to give every worthwhile endeavor the best we've got to give.

Let's give life our best shot today. It's what men of God do.

Thought for the Day

Some people are morning people. They wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to face the day. But when evening comes, their enthusiasm and energy start waning. Others take a little longer to get started, but when it's time to call it a day, they are still going strong.

Both kinds of people have to make it through the day successfully. Many early risers have developed the discipline of a quiet time before they face the challenges of the day. This works for them, but not for the ones who have a hard time getting out of bed in time for work! The night people can take time during their lunch break or before they turn in for the night to engage in certain spiritual exercises.

George Herbert was a sixteenth-century Anglican pastor and poet. He gave some of the best advice about this issue in his poem "The Church-porch." He wrote, "Summe up at night, what thou hast done by day; And in the morning, what thou hast to do. Dress and undresse thy soul." The idea of dressing and un******ng the soul, just as we dress and undress the body, makes sense because it points to the fact that every waking moment needs to be lived in the power of our relationship with God. This requires both preparation and evaluation.

This day will present many challenges and opportunities for which we need to be prepared. Dress and undress your soul today.

Thought for the Day

American culture holds knowledge in high regard. It is championed as the key that can unlock many doors of opportunity. An individual's status is often connected to what university they attended or how many degree letters they have after their name. We have been taught to believe that "knowledge is power."

While knowledge in and of itself is good, we must be careful to not mishandle it. Paul reminded the Corinthian believers that knowledge has the tendency to cause us to "puff up" with pride (1 Corinthians 8:1 NIV). An example can be found in nature in the form of the puffer fish (a.k.a. blowfish). I remember when a guy I was fishing with at the Jersey Shore pulled one out of the ocean. It blew itself up into a spiny ball. But he warned me that this little fish can be lethal, even though it tastes so good. Toxins are stored in its skin and internal organs; yet despite the dangers, some people insist on eating its meat! My fishing buddy explained that extreme care must be taken in preparing the dish and that some people have been poisoned and even died from enjoying this deadly delicacy.

Knowledge can taste sweet, but if it's used in the wrong way, it can be very destructive. If we become conceited by how much we know (or think we know), we become puffed up and our misused knowledge can actually poison those around us!

God is more concerned about how you love than about what you know.

Don't be a blowfish!

Thought for the Day

During my quiet time one morning, I read this passage from Deuteronomy 7:9: "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments" (NIV).

In this passage, Moses describes God as "the faithful God." Faithfulness is important in any relationship. Without it, we feel insecure. A faithful person is someone we can count on during tough times, someone who is loyal, and someone who keeps promises and commitments. Quite the contrary, unfaithfulness has become all too common in modern culture. Husbands and wives break marriage vows, parents abandon children, workers and employers break commitments, skilled lawyers look for loopholes in contracts, family members abuse each other, and friendships dissolve over trivialities.

We long for the security and hope that faithfulness brings. Faithfulness breeds trust and leads to security, confidence, and peace. In Moses' statement that "he is the faithful God," we find that promise. While others break their commitments, God keeps His. Though everyone else deserts us, God will be there. And notice that God is "keeping his covenant of love." No matter what happens and regardless of what we've done or how far we've strayed from Him, He never leaves us. That's a promise we can live with!

Your faithful God keeps His promise of love. Let's resolve to keep ours.

Thought for the Day

It is unhealthy to go through life without trusting. To do so is to be imprisoned in the worst prison of all—the prison of SELF!

We learn how to distrust early on in life. It may be a parent who over promised and under delivered, or a business partner who did you dirty. The ability to trust can become the collateral damage of life's battles. But without trust, life becomes only about you, and that is not good.

Ponder these words of Solomon this morning: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take" (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT).

I have learned that trusting God completely is a major step to finding the courage and strength to risk trusting others.

Brothers, we really do need each other.

Thought for the Day

One day I was relaxing on the beach and staring out at the ocean. My mind was going over some of the challenges and deadlines that would be waiting for me when I returned home from vacation. Between my thoughts and sea views, I was also reading from one of three books I intended to intellectually devour that week, books that were filled with wisdom, stretched my thinking, and challenged my life.

Then I became visually distracted by a cute little girl nearby who appeared to be about five or six years old. She seemed to view everything with eyes of awe and wonder. Her mission that day was to move the entire beach from point A to point B using only a little plastic shovel and tiny bucket. I was not about to rain on her parade by telling her it couldn’t be done.

Something else happened that day. I made a vow to continue seeking the wisdom of the ages, but also to look at the world through the eyes of a child (Matthew 19:14).

Never lose your sense of wonder. Don't be childish, but stay childlike.
