Learn, commit, practice…and Succeed!


This morning the Lord and I were actually talking about this very concept. He was reminding me that knowing the Word isn’t enough. I have to actively apply it as well. Then i got to the office and had this little devo, and thought ‘God must really want me to get this today!’

I hope it helps you think differently, as well!

The Driving Journey

By Rick Boxx
October 5, 2011

Working on a farm at 12 years old, I was asked to move my uncle’s stick shift pickup truck. After killing the engine, my uncle realized I needed to learn to drive.

Eventually, I committed to driving by taking a drivers test. Even after passing the drivers exam I still needed practice, which became evident two months later when I wrecked my father’s car!
Applying God’s principles to work is similar as driving. You have to learn God’s principles, then commit to them, and finally it takes ongoing practice.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:19, “Whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

For you to be great in God’s eyes in your workplace, learn His principles, commit to them, and practice them regularly.
