When you’re up to your butt in alligators it’s hard to remember your assignment was to drain the swamp. Many times, we get so focused on what we are doing or how good we are doing it, we lose sight of the reason we started in the first place.
Jesus referenced this principle when He said, “I must be about my father’s business!”
He didn’t let the troubles or needs cause Him to lose sight of the reason why He came.
Busy-ness is a time-wasting strategy of the devil initiated by mans desire for identity through achievement.
Life is a book written in real time full of adventures and opportunities. It’s easy to stay focused on what you do, and a competitive world will hold you accountable for how well you do it. What you do taps into your greatest strengths, how you do it reflects your capacity to learn and grow, but only knowing “why” you are doing it gives you a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Jesus did what He had to do, and He did it with perfection, but both were overshadowed by knowing the “why” of His assignment!
What you do and how well you do it gives you success in the eyes of man. Defining and staying true to “why” you do it aligns to destiny and releases the favour and blessings of God.
So do what God has gifted you to do and do it as unto the Lord, but daily remind yourself “why” you are doing it! The fullness of God is found in the “why”. Kingdom blessings are found in these three, what, how and “why” but the greatest of these is “why”!
Kim and I want to thank you for your support of Gary Carter Ministries. Your support allows us to pursue with excellence the international ministry God has assigned and partnering with you to build Gods Kingdom is “why” we do it.
