I am relatively new to one of those social networking medias call Twitter. I find it to be alot of fun. One of the people that I "following" (a term that Twitter uses for seeing the tweets that an individual writes) is a professional football player named Larry Fitzgerald. I have watched him many times on the TV sports channel, and was amazed at his athletic ability, but I never knew what kind of person he was. One would assume that a tough football player able to play in the NFL would be mean, rough around the edges, spitting out expletives and ready to rip your face off at any given moment. After all, it is a dog eat dog world in the NFL.
But I have been completely amazed at who the real Larry Fitzgerald is. Kind, compassionate, thoughtful of his fans......Christian! His motto? FFF Faith, Focus, Finish. Kids, did you notice it wasn't Football, Focus, Finish....or Focus, Football, Faith. It was Faith first, then the rest. This is the way that God commands us to be: Seek Him first.
Matthew 6:33 (New International Version, ©2011)
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
With the economy the way that has been for some time, life has been really tough for many of us. Work has been slow, if not dissolved, and things just aren't the way they used to be. Many of us find ourselves worrying about today, or tomorrow. When you feel yourself feeling this way, I want you to remember something very important:
Faith, Focus, Finish
God told us to seek Him first and have faith that He would handle all things for us. Then focus on what you need to do. God gave us all talents. Use them to their fullest. And lastly, Finish! Don't quit. You only lose when you quit.
