[The Glory Unveiled]
I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. [ Luke 15:18 NIV ]
The son, famously known as the prodigal son, turned his life around by taking action. The gap between where we are and where we want to be is often bridged by action. He had a plan, but as long as that plan remained in his head and wasn’t executed, his situation never changed. Verse 20 begins with “So he got up and went to his father…” His action changed his fate; otherwise, he might have died in that foreign land. Many people, institutions, families, and businesses are suffering due to inaction. Inaction fosters negativity in our lives; laziness and choosing not to act sow thorns in our beautiful gardens. A lazy person’s attitudes and choices reveal their laziness. For instance, in Matthew 25:26, the servant’s attitude toward his master’s property exposed his laziness, even though he didn’t explicitly admit it. Our choices speak volumes about us, with laziness being the epitome of inactivity. Deciding to do nothing when action is required is the portrait of laziness, which ultimately leads to poverty and stagnation. Your inaction is planting seeds in your life, unfortunately, seeds that will grow into monumental embarrassment and label you as someone who chose to do nothing. Decide today that you will take action and effect change in every aspect of your life. Get up and take action.
Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for the grace to do all that I must do. Help me to take action now, in the direction of progress. Amen.
