I know what I have to do
It was for these people that the Lord Jesus said the following:
“Repent and do the first works.” Rev. 2:5
In other words, you’re used to doing what is right. You know what worked, because you did it for a long time. You reaped good fruits. But for some reason, you stopped. The results were catastrophic.
You know what you have to do, but in between you knowing and doing you know certain barriers exist:
- Pride
- Embarrassment
- Timidness
- Grudges
- Laziness
- Distractions
- Being complacent with your current situation
- Doubts
- Fear of failure and not being able to be who you were
- Indecision
- Procrastination
Don’t worry. Don’t be anxious about what will happen later on today, tomorrow or after that. Worry only about right now. Take a decision to do what you know you need to do right now. Just do it. And afterwards, later on, continue doing it. When you feel discouraged or hit any barriers, remember, re-decide to continue your first works. This constant decision to do what is right is the door that leads to success.
It’s that simple. We are the ones who create difficulties.
Think right now about those things that you know you need to do but haven’t done, and make a decision to do them now—at least one thing. It doesn’t matter how small the first step is. Start now, as soon as you finish reading this blog.
Don’t tell me what you know. Tell me what you’ll do.
