"I believe that God made me for a purpose, but He also made me fast. When I run, I feel His pleasure." said Eric Henry Liddell
True story of the 1924 Olympics. Eric Liddell disqualified himself from the 100 meters because he wouldn't run on the sabbath. A teammate gave up his spot in the 400 meters so that he would have a chance at a medal on another day.
In Every Season of our lives. As we grow, whether you like it or not. We some how will make decision. Decision to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, trust in Him, surrender everything back to Him, turn away from wicked sins, what course to study, which uni to enroll, career paths, yes or no to the boy/gal, and etc.
If you're determined to be obedient to God, honor him in every decision you make, I am glad for you. God will not shortage you. IF only we know and so clear of what he wants us to do, where to go and which DECISION TO MAKE.
HOWEVER, the journey in our lives is not as easy as we think, it has been so challanging for me. Especially when we are at the crossroad and God is silent.
After all, I know that God is telling me "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
I remember that last year, I listened to John C Maxwell was talking about Managing Decisions. Some of the highlights in his talk was
The Secret of your successes are determined by your daily agenda. The Secret of your successes are determined by what you do today .
Successful people make important decisions early of their life and they manage their decisions the rest of their life.
Making decisions is overrated, managing decisions is underrated.
Let's hear more from HIM! He is a good mentor. Christian leader and Business Man!
I truly think it is very significant for you and I even at this age to make Godly decision that honor Him with our lives in every decision that we make in every stage of our life and manage them well. So that we can be successful in our marriage, career, to be good parents, in serving God, and more importantly the successful child of God in God's eyes.
There is a saying, the decisions that you made in the 1st half of your life will most influence/impacted of what your 2nd half of your life would be.
Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically-correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1:>>Life is not fair - get used to it.
Rule 2:>>The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3.>>You will not make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4:>>If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5:>>Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping they called it opportunity.
Rule 6:>>If you mess up, it's not your parent's fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7:>>Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they now are. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites your parent's generation created, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8:>>Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This does not bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9:>>Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10:>>Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11:>>Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
