Philippians 3:12-14 – Focused on the Goal<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don\u2019t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I\u2019ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward\u2014to Jesus. I\u2019m off and running, and I\u2019m not turning back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sometime the Message is exactly what is needed to jolt me back to what God is really saying. On the flight home from convention, God gave me a number and said Go For It! It wasn\u2019t out loud as I looked around to see who else heard it and apparently I was the only one. I mean this number is insane. It is more than double anything we have done or even come close to doing.<\/p>\n

Me in my human brain have been wrestling with this \u201cgoal\u201d ever since. Everything from the really God \u2013 this is Lisa you are talking to \u2013 to the absolute we can do this \u2013 it breaks down this way and requires these actions \u2013 to the God there is no way I can do those actions!<\/p>\n
BUT GOD!<\/strong><\/p>\n He gives exquisite clarity and perfect peace in the exact moment it is needed. I can be scared and take action. I can be nervous and take action. I can be completely tee-totally freaked out take action. I can stay plugged into the word and listen to what God wants me to hear \u2013 and that is the only reason I will be able to take action. Am I willing to work like it depends on me and trust that it can only happen with his intervention. Am I willing to stay focused if it doesn\u2019t happen? \u2026. Wait a minute! This is an act of faith. When God says go \u2013 you go!<\/p>\n God is bigger than any number or any fear I have of that number and I am making the decision to do whatever work God gives me to do to make that happen. I can choose to be still and listen. I can choose to ask, knock and receive. I can choose to believe that God has certain people in my life this season so that I can learn from them and chase hard after Him. Simple daily actions consistently over time can create some pretty massive change. God \u2013 you\u2019ve got this and I am willing to go there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 2016 Philippians 3:12-14 – Focused on the Goal I\u2019m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made.
