What Are You Waiting For?

Gayle and I are currently reading It's Not My Fault, by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. One of the initial main points they put forth as a way of owning responsibility for your life is to realize that your thinking may be wrong. Sounds obvious I know, but actually when our brain outputs information it comes out with conviction that it is right in its assessment. (Gayle tells me I come across this way on most occasions. Dang!) As leaders, our internal assessment is extremely important because decisions are made based on them.

As I work my way through the scriptures (My reading plan currently has me in Jeremiah and Isaiah.) it's clear to me that most times our assessment falls glaringly short of God's assessment (1 Cor 2:7-9). The result is that we make small decisions, based on small assessments, resulting in small outcomes. In a recent post, Perry Noble asked this question, "What would you be willing to attempt for God if you knew you could not fail?" As you read it, ask yourself these two questions;

1. What is God's assessment of...? (you fill in the blank)
   
2. What will I do in response to God's assessment?

The truth is that God doesn't need millions of people to change the world, (1 Samuel 14:6). He can do that with a very small number. Will you be one of those?
