What Happen to Last Monday?

In a word . . . I forgot!!!! Sorry, I think in the last year, I have missed a hand fold of Monday morning blogs. This blog has been a good thing for me to start off my day and week with purpose and focus. Yes, if you look at some of the posted times, you might see it comes a little latter in the day, the late post doesn't mean I don't start thinking about it.

I think we should start everyday with purpose. My wife has helped me a lot with this. She has wonderfully crafted her skill of organization and filling her day with purpose. But I think it goes beyond just making sure you get from point "A" to point "B". I think you need to know what point "B" is.

When we started our sprint to smartness, our instructors introduced us to a think called ABC's. We soon learned that B always followed A. It soon became easy to say our ABC's with a little practice. Finding our mission should be the same. Our mission should be to far off from our lords mission as well.

Once again, I returned to that Christ home church teaching in Luke 4.

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the hole countryside. 15He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Jesus mission was simple . . . share the great news of his father to the hurting, help people out of the hell hole they are in, help people see the difference between light and dark, and set people free.

That should be our mission as well!

Everyday, we should look for opportunities to do the following.

1) Give someone a lift! (emotionally, physically, spiritually)

2) Give someone a hope (share a story of how you were lifted up from a bad day or bad situation)

3) Give someone a reason to investigate the claims of Christ

We all have a purpose, let's live everyday out of that purpose!

Have an Awesome Day
