A Black-Necked Stilt and Your Vitally Serious Work for God
A Black-Necked Stilt and Your Vitally Serious Work for God
  • Working for God is the point of focus today.
  • How’s your work-life coming along?
  • How heavily invested are you in Kingdom affairs?
  • Are you intense about pursuing all the will of God for your life?
  • Good questions, right?
To illustrate the idea of being intense about your work, a special species of Shorebird comes into view, a Black-necked Stilt. Shallow waters are its domain, but they are anything but shallow in their defense of their territory. Stilts aggressively contend for their pool of H2O. A group of them will band together surrounding an intruder with a flapping wings display meant to show that they’re seriously tough and aggressive about their turf.  You see this tendency displayed all throughout the realm of wildlife. My question to you today is shouldn’t this be the same in the realm of human life?

Shouldn’t Jesus Followers Be Serious about Their Domain?

  • Every day is an opportunity to say ‘yes’ to Jesus – to work in the area God gifted you.
  • We are to buy up every opportunity to advance in the things that really matter.
  • Paul said plainly that, by the grace of God, he worked harder than the other apostles of the Lord.
  • Yes, we walk by faith, but we labor in love.
  • Paul was laser homed in on his calling from God – he aggressively contended for the faith.
  • How about you today?
  • Is it in your heart to give God the aggressive energy of your efforts?
  • You will impact many if you press for the mark, and reach out, reach up, and reach within.
