Be prepared (1)
'WORK HARD SO YOU CAN...RECEIVE HIS APPROVAL.' 2 TIMOTHY 2:15
Beckham's famous bending and sometimes match winning free kicks were the result of hours of endless practice. Beckham famously would stay at the training ground kicking ball after ball long after the rest of the lads were getting a shower and drink at the bar. Preparation is everything!
Moses spent 80 years preparing for a job that would last 40. The greater the goal, the greater the preparation!
Whether you're called to business, education, sports, politics, art, medicine or ministry, this principle remains; God uses prepared people. The price tag required for long-term success cannot be lowered. We all want what successful people have; we're just not all willing to pay the price they paid to achieve it. You must be prepared when your opportunities come.
President Abe Lincoln said, 'I will prepare and some day my chance will come.' Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli said, 'The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his time when it comes.'
When the fate of the Jews hung in the balance, Mordecai told Esther that her experience in the king's palace had prepared her, 'For such a time as this' (Esther 4:14). She responded and the Jews were saved. All these people had talent, prepared themselves and made the most of their opportunities when they arose. So your greatest challenge is not lack of opportunity, but being ready when it comes.
