the
truth is i don’t always feel like doing the right thing. i don’t always feel like being nice to
people, do you? i don’t always feel like
putting my wife and children’s needs ahead of my own. i don’t always feel like reading the bible or
praying. i don’t always feel like
forgiving people. i don’t always feel
like giving. i don’t always feel like
doing the right thing. but feelings are
highly unreliable. the world says, base
everything you do on your feelings. if
it feels good do it. if it doesn’t feel
good, don’t do it. GOD says don’t base
your life on feelings, base your life on faith.
and that will make it an adventure.
do you
want to be successful? let me give you
what is the key to being a success in life.
successful people simply do things that unsuccessful people are
unwilling to do. that’s it. successful people simply do the things that
unsuccessful people are unwilling to do.
they’re willing to pay the price.
olympic athletes spend hours and hours in training, far beyond what the
average athlete will do. master
musicians spend hours and hours in practice more than what the typical musician
will do. the super salesman are those
who go out and make the extra call, the extra effort, the extra time when the
other person has decided to go home and watch tv. the godly man and the godly woman are that
way by choice. because they’ve chosen to
pay the price for the disciplines and spiritual habits that produce godliness
in their life. and that’s a choice.

the
point is this. if you will trust GOD
even when you don’t feel like it, GOD will give you the strength to keep on
working on that marriage when you think, “this is hopeless!” if you will trust GOD even when you don’t
feel like it, GOD will give you the strength to pick yourself up and dust
yourself off and start over again when you’ve had a business failure. HE will give you the strength to keep on
keeping on when you feel like throwing in the towel and giving up.
just a
thought from the front porch…
