Heard TD Jakes speaking earlier, being interviewed about all of the activities and efforts he is engaged in. His Church, television, teaching, movies.

He made the comment…
” I want to see what’s in me”.

I want to see what’s in me…..
I buy into that.

Let’s buy into that.

Time can be managed.
Days can be scheduled and managed
Life, here, is only so long.

Let’s see what’s in us.

We hear Football Coaches this time of year talk and school players to…

“play 60 minutes”.

They say repeatedly…
“Play hard every play…games are decided by a few big plays…play hard every play”.

You have heard it…
“practice is where you learn”
“Practice is where you prepare to win”
“Practice hard…to win”

Spiritually,
practice is getting in the Word daily.

Doing so enables one to “make the plays” when the time comes.

Prepare yourself in some way…
everyday.

If you are 30…
if you are 60…
Let us make every day count for something.
My father died at 55 and he would tell you the time in his life that really counted for good were his last 15 years.

A very famous leader once said about
each day that was before him…
and this published comment is in my pocket everyday…

“God has given me this day
to use as I will.
I can waste it…or use it for good.
What I do today is important,
as I am exchanging a day of my life
for it.
When this day is over it will be
gone forever…
leaving something in its place I have traded for it.
I want it to be a gain, not a loss,
Good, not evil …
Success, not failure…
in order that I should not regret the
price I paid for it”.

Read that last phrase again….

“in order that I should not regret the price I paid for it.”

 

Let us maximize today.

Seize the day.

Let us use the Gifts given us…
fully.

The One Who placed the gifts within us did so for them to be fully exercised.

Don’t look back at some point and say “what might have been”.

 

See what’s in you.
