Striving for excellence

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post.

God does everything in excellence, doesn't He? So we have a great and majestic role model.

God is not at all a half-stepper. And He's not a man that lies, so when He does things He does things just as His word says, in order and perfectly. He operates in a way where people take notice. When God is in it, it is build like a rock. Yes He's God like that and His standards of excellence are the highest ever. And since we are children of the Most High, we have the ability (and responsibility) to do things as He would -- to the best of our ability.

Yet, I have to start with myself and honestly and personally stating that, sometimes doing everything in order, is easier said than done. There was a time a couple of years ago when I just sat around and didn't move on my gifts. I was lazy and inconsistent. TV, radio, and the internet were my fake-friends and I didn't read on a normal schedule either. So it's no wonder I didn't really get any traction in obtaining all God had for me, right? And although I still have a long walk, I'm glad I am finally going forward and tapping into the Lord's best for me. There comes a time when we get sick and tired of being sick and tired. Today I'm tapping into the excellence He already has laid out for me. Today I have cracked through the standards set by God and I'm striving everyday. I thank God for His grace. I'm so appreciative of it and appreciative of a God who is an awesome God. "Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" (Psalm 8:9). How about you? Do you have a relationship with the Lord? Are you walking in the plan of the Lord for your life? I certainly hope you're on that path and further along than I was, because I don't want anyone else wasting the time I did not moving. God wants excellence for us and it's time to start going for all He has planned for us, which is much.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa
