DO WHAT YOU CAN!

BLESSED ARE GIVING HANDS:
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
*Nelson Mandela once said: THE BRAVE MAN IS NOT HE WHO DOES NOT FEEL AFRAID, BUT HE WHO CONQUERS HIS FEARS.
*Theodore Roosevelt: Do what you can, with what you got, where you are.
*I HAVE HEARD: DO WHAT YOU CAN. WHERE YOU CAN. WHEN YOU CAN.
WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON WHAT WE CAN DO, MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE. START WHERE WE ARE. WE MUST OVERCOME THE INERTIA OF PROCRASTINATION TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS.
My friends we can’t overcome what we don’t control. We have choices to make with what is in our hands. Start by doing one thing. We must do something with what we have. A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH. Life is about your choices.
THERE IS ALWAYS SO MANY EXCUSES TO GIVE AS AN OFFERING.
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Perhaps many of us need to buy “THE IMPOSSIBLE SHIRT.” You might be surprised what impossible feat you might do it you just put forth the effort to accomplish more than you ever thought possible.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
WHO DEFINES YOUR LIMITS? THREE THINGS KEEP US IN THE SHELL OF DO NOTHING. ONE, WATCHING AND WAITING FOR OTHERS. TWO, MAKING EXCUSES. THREE: PROCRASTINATION. I THING GOD IS CALLING: IT’S TIME TO DO SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS HIGH TIME TO STOP OFFERING EXCUSES AND TO START DOING SOMETHING. DO WE HEAR THE CALL TO TAKE ACTION AND TRY. BEFORE WE CAN FINISH WE HAVE TO START.
SMALL THINGS… RARELY DO WE START WITH GREAT CIRCUMSTANCES TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS… MOST OF THE TIME GREAT THINGS BEGIN WITH SMALL THINGS.
Zechariah 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
We cannot allow where I am to define where I want to be. Every opportunity will face the enemy’s adversities. FRUSTRATION IS THE FEELING WE GET WHEN WE TRIED OUR BEST AND OUR EFFORTS SEEM TO BE BROUGHT TO NAUGHT. WE MUST STAY THE COURSE AND PRESS AGAINST THE ODDS AND OBSTACLES.
CAN A LITTLE NEEDLE AND THREAD GIVE BIRTH TO A MIRACLE? DO WHAT YOU CAN. WHEN YOU CAN. WHERE YOU ARE. MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN WHERE WE ARE, WHEN WE ARE EVEN WHEN MY WORK SEEMS SO LITTLE AND UNIMPORTANT… TABITHA (DORCAS) --- THANK GOD THERE IS A PPREACHER NEAR BY…
Acts 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. 37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. 38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. 39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. 42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
TABITHA was not a show-off and her work was not noticed until her death. At her death it was noted she did what she could, when she could, where she could. There was a great miracle : FROM DETH TO LIFE because she had been faithful to her POST OF DUTY,
Tabitha (Doras) your good works and your alms deeds have been noticed by the God of heavens. There must be more sowing to do. Get up and grab your needle and thread.
