Git-R-Done
I am one who knows the value of thinking things through. It is important to get your ducks in a row anytime you are trying to do anything of great significance to your home, business or church. Recently I have been trying to finish laying ceramic tile on our living room floor.
This job required a some preparation. The floor had to be cleaned thoroughly. Measurements had to be made to find its center. Furniture had to be moved and all the remnants of the carpet before had to be tossed out.
Even though I did all the right things there are no guarantees that it will come out right. I still could end up with crooked tile in certain places. The thinset may end up being thinner in one area than in another. The grout and all the finishing touches may not come out right.
Here's my point. Sometimes as Christians we just have to Git-R-Done. We can't just let ourselves get bogged down in minutia. We know the job that we have to do and we know that we can't plan for every eventuality so we should just go for it. Sometimes we think about it too much and end up talking ourselves out of it.
Now, I am not purposing fast draw shoot from the hip action on everything we do. What I am trying to say is that we have to believe that God will honor our willingness to act even when we don't have all the answers. He sees our faith and acknowledges our obedience. There has to be a balance between us trusting our own knowledge and ability and God's knowledge and ability. In everything we do God is the X factor that makes all the difference and I don't think we should plan Him out!
