You have already made up your mind that you are going to do this for the Lord. He has told you precisely what he wants done and pretty much how to go about it. You are trying to figure out how to get it done but it just can't seem to be squeezed in. You think of bypassing Bible study on Friday or skipping your Saturday runs. No, that won't work. You consider how you can maneuver your career obligations to make it work or how you can handle your household duties differently to make more time. No ideas emerge. This obligation is tugging at your heels while that responsibility is peeking over your shoulder. Your spouse is pulling your time to the east, while your children are pulling your attention to the west. When? When? When?
Today. The answer is today. Just do it. Whatever it is that you know God is calling you to do. Take steps toward making it happen. Little bit by little bit it will get done. You'll notice when you move in God's behalf, he'll be with you all the way. Yes, he's requiring more of you. Yes he still expects that you'll carry on with your other responsibilities with integrity. And, yes, he will work it out so that you are not overwhelmed and overloaded. Submit to what God has led you to do and you will be amazed at how time and circumstance will wait for you. The Bible study group will suddenly decide to meet late on Friday instead of early afternoon. Events will majestically rearrange in ways that better suits your needs. People who were vying for your attention will serve you as needed. God will make it easy for you to follow his directive. He doesn't want it to be difficult to do what he is asking you to do.
No reward is greater than the contentment your heart and spirit will have after seeing the blessed effects of following his will. So start today. There's no time...like the present.
