I am sure that we have heard that phrase, “I want _____ so bad that I can taste it! You have pushed, pressed, pursued, persevered, and you envision the day to come. In your mind…you have your place setting is ready—you have your plate out, silverware, cup and napkin, ready to dig in…and then suddenly you discover that what you had a taste for, what was once so tantalizing, so rich, so delicious…suddenly becomes bland, stale sour!! Well, what happened to the “filet mignon” that you were salivating over turns into potted meat? It is not that the meat that changed, it is you!!! Somewhere along the way, you lost your intensity, your passion, you lost your direction, you lost your focus, and you lost your balance! In short—who or what did you allow to change the menu of your life??
Somewhere along the way you have allowed someone or something distract you, take you off the course that you have been focused on. You ended up tasting someone else's plate, ate of it, and it has caused you a “virus” with serious side effects---vomiting (complaining), a headache (frustration), queasiness (worry), fatigue (procrastination) and which has led you searching for a cure!!
You have had the cure all along...you just thought it was “too hard” and thought there was a better, easier way...a better, easier way to lose that weight, a better, easier way to build that successful business, a better, easier way to write that book, a better way to ________________ . Sure, there are better and easier ways to do things, but when GOD puts you on a certain path, there is not a guarantee that YOUR way will be the better, easier way. Rest assured that God’s way is the BEST way. Don’t be discouraged or entangled in despair of the path you have to take to get to where you need to be. Rid yourself of those things and/or people who allowed you to lose your focus, your passion, your vision in the first place!!! Put the work in, be patience and most of all have faith! God knows what He is doing and knows what is best for our lives, more than we can ever imagine or think!
