DO

After a few days off celebrating our 30th anniversary with a little jaunt up to Mackinac Island and then back thru the lower peninsula today to Holland, Michigan and the Indiana Dunes, I'm ready to get back to work tomorrow morning and start doing.

There is great merit to patience and rumination and prudence and waiting. But somewhere along the line, DO has to kick in. Action has to be taken. It is a primary distinctive of faith.

We can imagine a dream.
We can talk about a dream.
We can sing about a dream - pray about it - write songs about it - go to conferences surrounding it.

But the temptation always exists not to do.

Take evangelism. We do all of the above with evangelism, but we seldom move out into action with it. Instead, we turn around and become the teachers who tell others how to do it.

Sooner or later, or bias for action must kick in - not just for evangelism, but for everything.

Whatever God has called you to do tomorrow, just go do it.

And be blessed.
