Show Up...

Stop losing by default.

I’m not a real sports fan. But I do know that when one team does not show up for the game the opposing team wins by default.

When we don’t show up, we lose by default.

The same concept applies to our spiritual wellbeing. When we don’t show up for God, we lose out on blessings; we lose out on wisdom; we lose out on knowledge and discernment; we lose out on opportunities to succeed; we lose out on becoming the women God intended us to be.

Truth is, we allow the simplest things to distract us from showing up—all tactics of the devil, causing us to lose by default. Weariness—I’m too tired. Procrastination—I’ll do it tomorrow. Low prioritization—It’s not that important. Low esteem—I’m ok just the way I am. Pathetic apology—God knows my heart.

It’s funny how we aren’t too tired, don’t procrastinate, or apologize for doing other things like shopping, spending time on social media, and watching TV.

2 Timothy 3: 16-17 reminds us of this, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

When we don’t show up to read the Bible, we lose out on gaining valuable instruction, needed discipline, and specific direction to walk in our intended purpose.
