Unleashing Your Full Potential for God
From Underdog to Champion
In a stunning upset, I’ll Have Another, a chestnut colt, defied the odds to win the Kentucky Derby. Sold for a mere $11,000 as a yearling, this underdog was ridden by a relatively unknown jockey and started from an outside post that had never produced a winner. Yet, with determination and grit, the colt overtook the favored horse in the final stretch, proving that even the most unlikely candidates can achieve greatness.
Giving God Your All
This remarkable story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of giving our best to God. As Jesus emphasized in Matthew 22:37, loving God requires our wholehearted devotion – heart, soul, and mind. Anything less falls short of honoring Him as He deserves.
The Power of Total Commitment
In the Old Testament, the Israelites were instructed to offer God the first fruits and the best of their flocks. Today, we serve the same God, who still deserves our highest and best. Giving God our leftovers or half-hearted efforts is unacceptable; instead, we must focus on what we do best and offer it to Him with excellence.
Serving with Purpose and Passion
To truly glorify God, we must serve where we are most effective, leveraging our strengths, personality, and experiences to make a meaningful impact. This requires intentional effort, surrendering our lives as a living sacrifice to Him.
A Call to Action
So, I ask you: Are you willing to give God your best, your first, your total, your all? Will you commit to serving Him with purpose, passion, and excellence, unleashing your full potential for His glory? The choice is yours.
