“Tick tock, tick tock”.  The clock is running wild, pressure building.  Your deadline is creeping ever closer with each heartbeat.  You can only work as fast as your circumstances allow.  You’re confident you’ll make the deadline, your fellow colleagues, not so much.

In the panic and the chaos you reassure them, you appease them, you make plenty of promises – and valid ones, no exaggerations.

There comes a time when words aren’t enough.  Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations in life and no matter how much talking we do, the people around us don’t always seem to ‘listen’, they hear, but they don’t grasp.

When words aren’t enough, you just need to DO!  Sometimes we can’t even find the right words to settle the heated moment – that’s when it is time to just stop talking and take action.

I’ve often heard it said – “Don’t follow what I say, follow what I do”.  Now while I don’t fully agree with that statement (as I believe we should be practicing what we preach), I do realize that people will follow what they see you doing before they follow what you say.

When it comes to God, I have made many promises, as I’m sure you have too.  Now, God delights in us being honest with Him, making commitments to Him and acknowledging that we place our trust and our hope in Him.

But as humans, that’s often all we are.  We make promises, we commit to things, but sadly, our actions don’t support our lip service.

I think it’s time we started taking responsibility for what we commit to and start doing the things we need to in order to fulfill our commitments.

Perhaps you’ve asked God for help in a certain area and have entrusted certain things into His care, but then by your actions and in your own strength you’re still trying to do them without Him.  Why don’t you take that step of faith and truly entrust your concerns and problems into God’s very capable hands?!
