Do you live with a plan? What values drive what you do? Do you have goals? Plans, values, and goals help us to live strategically.
We must live our lives similar to running a business. We must make intentional decisions that are all focused on bringing us back the results that we desire. What results do you want to see from your life? If you don’t know what you want your future to look like, then it’s likely that you aren’t making the best decisions today.
What you do today shapes your tomorrow. Live strategically.
In order to live strategically, we must have an idea of why we’re living. This will definitely take time and groundwork, but it’s worth the effort. Once you get a strong foundation and clear purpose given from God, you’re in a position to start building. You can’t start building, though, without a strong foundation. Well, you can but it will be in vain:
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.”
– Psalm 127:1
It is imperative to get your plans from the Lord.
God has an assignment for each of us:
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
– Jeremiah 1:5
We all have work to do:
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
– Ephesians 2:10
What work do you need to be doing?
To live strategically, you must get your plan from the Creator.
Once you get your plan and purpose from Him, then you must begin to live strategically and obediently in order to manifest the life He has for you while on earth.
It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. It will take work, but anything worth having won’t come easy.
“For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
– Ecclesiastes 5:3
Handle your business. Work more. Talk less. Live strategically.
