KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING

Hi,

Thanks for coming back! I sincerely hope you’re blessed each time you visit this page? If you are, I’d be honored to hear from you.

Last week I wrote on how to go about setting great goals and I hope you have set your goals? In Coaching, I use a chart called ‘the Life wheel’ consisting of eight different life areas – Emotional, Health, Partner, Vocation, Money, Personal Development, Family/Social and Spiritual to assist the client identify where the individual is (in their own mind) in life on all of the life areas. Very rarely will you find anyone with a perfectly balanced wheel. This exercise helps people see and decide which area of their life is causing the imbalance in their life and they are able to decide whether or not they want to do something about it.

This week, my heart’s cry to everyone is – no matter what life areas we choose to work on this year, let’s remember to KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.

WHAT IS THE MAIN THING?
The main thing is that we are all here for a purpose and only for a season of life. We do not own ourselves; we belong to God. Life is not really about us, it is about the purpose for which we’ve been sent to be participants in life.

The main thing is that we as Christians are ALIENS in this world (1Peter 2:11), as aliens we are called to be transformed not to be conformed to the ways of this world. We are in the world but not of it. To each of us a season was appointed to accomplish our assignment, enough time to get the job done, after which our rewards awaits us.

The main thing is as aliens we ought not to go about life focusing on the ‘seen’, for all that is seen is temporary – be they mansions, accolades, trials or ‘peoples opinions’; we ought to go through life focusing on the unseen (2Corinthians 4:18) – our Invisible and Invincible God, who is eternal and forever praised!

The main thing is there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun.

The main thing is to be about our heavenly Father’s business, hoping to hear Him say to us on that day – “Well done! Good and Faithful servant!

The main thing is by the end of today, we will be 24 hours closer to the return of our Lord than we were yesterday but until He calls for us, we ought to remain the light of the world and the salt of the earth.

I encourage you to aim for the stars in pursuit of the dreams that God has placed in your heart, at worst you may land in the moon, but in the midst of your pursuits, remember to KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING, for it’s only what the Sovereign Lord thinks of you that would count and His opinion does count for all eternity!

Keep your light shinning!
With Love,
Angela
