PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVID’S 7 SECRETS

The Prelude p. XX111   

ENJOY THE GO

David said, “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.  If you seek him, He will be found by you…Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you.” 1 Chronicles 28:9-10

Jesus said, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit.” John 15:16

I say, “What real pleasure is there in bearing fruit if you don’t like growing the trees.”

Some people are never hot and they are never cold.  They avoid experiencing real life.  You must sweat and you must shiver or you will just be an amoeba that never progresses into something wonderful.

You have heard that pain builds character, but we avoid it for good reason and unless it is absolutely necessary we should.  But if bleeding a little is the only way to bear fruit, then we need to dig in and pay the price.

When I climb mountains, I love the challenge, the comradery, the hurt of the push to altitude, the exhilaration of making the daily objective.  Yes, the summit is always the final goal on mountains and in life, but the “go” is the part that gets you there…

Find a way to enjoy it.
