Me: Are you working in the garden?
Prodigal: Yes, I am trying to get it all done before it gets to hot!
This is from the book Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders
The emerging leader eats right, stands tall, and prepares himself to wage a good warfare. He will without reluctance undertake the unpleasant task that others avoid or the hidden duty that others evade because it wins no public applause. As the Spirit fills his life, he learns not to shrink from difficult situations or retreat from hard-edged people. He will kindly and courageously administer rebuke when that is called for, or he will exercise the necessary discipline when the interests of the Lord’s work demand it. He will not procrastinate, but will prefer to dispatch with the hardest tasks first.
Today is a day to focus on task and not much of a day for limelight. Stay focused and do your work unto the Lord.
Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Mark 10:15
