Wow how time flies! We are up to day 18 of our 70 days to excel and there are so many areas of improvement I still want to address.
The rush of enthusiasm at the start has now died down to the steely resolve of discipline and commitment.
Remember! To see good success you have to move from;
Desire through Discipline to Delight.
Make sure you keep focussed on the prize at the end of the 70 days – or whatever period you have committed to.
My three primary areas of resolve are;
- To lose weight – action = more exercise + better diet
- To become spiritually more alert – action = more prayer + Bible reading
- To increase my financial capacity. – action = better budgeting & more projects to release finance.
I have also identified a number of other areas of challenge that I am working to see improve in my life and ministry.
I have found this season to be such a great time of reassessing my effectiveness as a person and as a leader, and it is becoming a very revealing journey.
However I thank God that in Jesus Christ we find our sufficiency and strength to accomplish all things.
May this “70 days to excel” bring you closer to Jesus, and may His life abound in and through you in a greater measure than ever before.
PRACTICAL
1. Identify the three primary areas in which you are trying to improve.
2. After nearly three weeks are you making the kind of progress you anticipated?
3. Who do you need to bring on board to keep you improving at the rate you planned?
4. In what areas have you failed and need to begin again right now – so you do not give up?
