I’ve given you a round tuit. Whatever you do, don’t lose this tuit. It’s of great value. Tuits are not easy to obtain, especially the
round ones. As a matter of fact, they
are extremely hard to find. I know,
because I see people looking for them all the time. “Pastor, I’ll be at church Sunday if I can
get a round tuit. I’ll teach that class
if I can get a round tuit. I’ll get rid
of this sinful habit when I can get a round tuit. I’ll get that job done around the church as
soon as I can get a round tuit.”
You see, the
importance of putting your own personal round tuit in a safe place. They are especially hard to find and because
they are so rare, they are highly valuable.
Enough of the silliness! Most of
us never get a round tuit because of three things.
1. We are not “mentally
organized.” That is a polite way of
saying we are “scatter brained.”
2. We lack the self-discipline to go
out and get the job done.
3. We attempt things in our own
strength rather than asking God to intercede for us.
But are you aware that the Bible
teaches us that God has given us the ability to mentally organize our thoughts
(Proverbs 16:1)? And that He places in
us a desire to carry out that which we have mentally organized (Proverbs
13:4)? All we need to do is commit our
work to the Lord and our thoughts shall be established (Proverbs 16:3).
So why then do we fail
so often in things we set out to accomplish?
1. Unwise or unrealistic goals. Make your goals reasonable. It is unrealistic to think you can lose 25
pounds in four days but it is possible to do it in four months. Set realistic goals in every aspect of your
life.
2. Our goals often oppose God’s
will. Are your goals in accordance with
God’s Word and God’s will?
3. We make excuses by saying, “I’m
going to do that as soon as I get around to it.”
✞ Today would be a good day to do things you put off for a long while. So go ahead and do it while you can get a round tuit.
