Five don'ts that make a difference

Five don'ts that make a difference

'…Get understanding.' Proverbs 4:7 NKJ

Today, five lessons about life that make all the difference:

(1) Don't worry, just do your best. God accepts no less, but He demands no more. 'Trust in the Lord, and do good…and He shall give you the desires of your heart.' (Psalm 37:3-4 NKJ)

(2) Don't rush it, do it right. 'Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.' (Proverbs 21:5 NLT)

(3) Don't believe something is impossible without trying it. When you are in God's will, doing things God's way, sensitive to His timing and willing to stick at it, your problems are just a platform for Him to work on your behalf '…we must wait patiently and confidently.' (Romans 8:25 NLT)

(4) Don't waste your time. Put first things first and ask yourself, 'What is it that only I can do, or do best?' Only when you've answered that question will you know what you should do. Despite what you're thinking right now, it's probably not got a whole lot to do with Guitar Hero!

(5) Don't just talk about it…do it. Lots of people have good intentions but those intentions have to become actions. Get specific about your diet and your devotions, your finances and your family. 'If it's to be, it's up to me.' Write those words on a card and read them regularly. James writes: '…faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.' (James 2:17 NKJ)
