The Spark to Start

Do you sense there is more for your life, but you’re stuck wondering how to get moving? While you’re waiting on God, could He be waiting on you? What could be waiting for you on the other side of your obedience? NOW is the time for ACTION! Don’t let starting stop you! Delayed obedience is disobedience. There is so much God desires to accomplish through you. Ordinary acts of obedience lead to extraordinary acts of God. It’s not until you step out that you will find out. “It's not how you start but how you finish that counts.” You've probably heard this statement one too many times. But think about it—you cannot finish what you don't start. Finishing is contingent upon starting. Starting counts. Consider rockets. I’ve always been fascinated by their ability to take off into outer space—how can an object of its weight and size defy gravity so effortlessly? But, have you thought about the amount of fuel required for that momentous lift-off? On an empty tank, a space shuttle weighs close to 165,000 pounds. Add fuel and the necessary propellants, it’s close to 2,200 tons! The bulk of any space shuttle’s weight is the fuel—of which the majority is used for the moment of greatest energy expenditure: launching. Similarly, it can take more effort to get going than to keep going. Starting may seem difficult, but once you're off the launching pad, momentum will build. The SPARK to START will empower you to initiate change, gain momentum, and step into your destiny. No more delays! God’s mission gives you permission. Your next step could change everything… “God’s Spirit beckons: There are THINGS TO DO and PLACES TO GO!” Romans 8:14 MSG
