The Directions of Assembly
I get catalogues in the mail. Sometimes I'll send for something and when it arrives, it looks nothing like the picture in the catalogue. It's a box filled with screws, bolts, washers, and an instruction sheet the size of a small area rug. I didn't notice those three fatal words written in small print beside the picture... 'Some assembly required.' Three hours later, I have a shiny new bicycle in my living room. The problem is - it's supposed to be a rowing machine. The picture in the catalogue looks nice, but getting it to look like that takes work. God gives you visions and promises of what your life is to become in Him. The thing is, it doesn't come fully assembled. It takes work - applying and persevering when you don't feel like it, following the Master's instructions until the job is done. A good vision is worth sticking to and persevering for. Get moving and stick to it even when it's hard. That promise, vision, life, that you saw, you will one day see with your eyes - fully assembled.
From Message #113 - Perseverance
Is there something in your life that is out of the will of God? Get back into His will.
Scripture: Romans 4:20-21
