| What is holding you back? ...”The Tipping Point”... In his best-selling book, “The Tipping Point”, author Malcolm Gladwell describes the moment of critical mass when ideas, products, and group behaviors "tip" into the culture and take root. Research shows that personal behavior has its own tipping points: In many cases, the more times you try to change a habit; the more likely you are to ultimately succeed. The Apostle Paul understood that there was a tipping point in his life when he wrote: …I haven't learned all I should even yet, but I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be…I am still not all I should be, but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us. Phil 3:12-14 TLB The secret of true breakthrough in our lives is to keep going. So here it is…my ‘40 Day Challenge’ goals are about making daily choices – small choices – that have big possibilities to change my life – forever! Simply put - I have to keep getting back up when I fall down! It’s said that Christopher Columbus faced incredible difficulties while sailing west in search of a passage to Asia. He encountered storms, experienced hunger, deprivation and extreme discouragement. The crews of his three ships were near mutiny. But his account of the journey says the same thing over and over: “Today, we sailed on.” His perseverance paid off. He didn’t discover a fast route to the spice rich Indies; instead he discovered a new continent! Today – I didn’t get my 3 mile walk done. I ran out of time. (Hmmm..Is that a play on words?) I haven’t completed by devotional time, or read the chapters of the book I am reading…but my “TIPPING POINT”, my break though moment…. my moment when I am going to ‘fall into success’ is in my future….if I will just do one thing…. I have to get back up when I fall down. That’s all God is asking from me…get up…keep sailing…He will do the rest! “We will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 |
