No Longer Lost

Among the many facets that come together to create effectiveness, lie two pivotal bearings.

Knowing where you are.
Knowing where you are going.

Listening to Stryper's latest album, they ask a poignant question, in the third track, simply titled Lost.

Are we lost?

We all have things to do, goals to accomplish and directions in which we are heading. We are facing many battles, struggles and obstacles along the way. Does it take much to throw us off course and lose our bearings? Hopefully not. But when the beat-down is strong, what is keeping you in the game?

What's more... what is keeping you in advancement mode. Yes, sometimes it is survival mode, but the advancement remains reachable, hopeful, and worthwhile. Because we hold fast to the truth. We hold fast to the promise. We keep our eyes on the goal, while having a keen awareness of the surroundings.

There is no effectiveness in burnout.
There is great effectiveness in continuance, especially where there is clarity of vision and purpose.

Pray this #effectiveSunday for those feeling lost and overwhelmed by their state of existence. Pray that they would hold fast to the promise and faith which has brought them to today. May God strengthen and quicken them; that they would neither quit nor retreat, but advance with renewed focus and intensity. Pray for increased awareness and clarity that would serve to increase their hope and trust in what God desires to accomplish in and through their lives.

Once lost; now found.
For the glory of God.
