How many remember racing against friends when you were younger? Everyone lines up, make sure the laces are tied and the “referee – Friend 1” starts the race.
Friend 1: On your mark
You: {Look to your right and to your left at the friends beside you knowing you are faster than them all}
Friend 1: Get set
You: {One last glance before putting your head down to start your stride}
Friend 1: {acts like they are going to say something}
All Racers: {start running}
Friend 1: I didn’t say Go
All Racers: Aww man {while going back to the line}
Friend 1: {starts the race over with the final words} GO!!
You and all racers: {run like someone is chasing you.)
You: Looking left and right you start to loose momentum and you see Friend 2 going strong looking straight until they reach the finish line.
What happened? Why did you not get to the line first? Why? Were they faster than you? No. Then why did you not get to the line first???
Friend 2 knew they had to worry about the line, not those on the left or the right. Friend 2 stayed focused and hit the target. You were so concerned where the others were that you started to slow down and loose momentum.
God (Friend 1) told you what to do.
Get on your mark: Focus on you and what he has given you to do.
Get set: Start with a budget (how much will the venture require, how much is needed in the end)
(The first false start) God saw you weren’t ready.
Go: Go after what you desire!!
My point. No matter where you are right now, you have a Fresh Start today to finish the race. Don’t worry about what other friends are doing, know your goal and obtain it. It’s a personal thing.
I have faith in you!!!
