I like listening to Joyce Meyers. She is so good and so down to earth. She says that you can't stand on faith for big things when you don't even have faith over the little things like dirty dishes in the sink.
She is right. In this world we need discipline more than ever. The Bible also says that a lazy man shouldn't eat.
Lazy and discipline go together. Are you lazy or are you undisciplined? In this world we need to be disciplined so we are not lazy.
How can we ask God for other things when we can't believe Him to help us to get our house cleaned. God gave us our home's. If we don't take care of them why should He give us anything else.
I am a very organized person. I want everything to have it's own place. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think I go as overboard with organizing like I use to. Also organizing things comfort me. My husband spends time in the basement when he needs to unwind. He makes things from wood. That works for him for me I just find some area in the house and reorganize it. It's like eating comfort food with no taste or calories.
So getting back to the question. Are you unorganized because your lazy? Do something about it. Clean your room while organizing what has to be organized. Paint that kitchen where the paint is peeling. Mow that hay field you call a yard. Whatever it takes just do it then you will be ready to go to God and ask for the bigger things.
God says when He can trust you over the little things He will set you over bigger things.
Start this new day the right way TGIF Today God is First. When we put Him first He will put us first. When we show Him our disciplined lives He will be able to move on our behalf. Trust Him today you might be surprised!
