You Can Do It!

1 Chronicles 28:9-10

^9-10 "And you, Solomon my son, get to know well your father's God; serve him with a whole heart and eager mind, for God examines every heart and sees through every motive. If you seek him, he'll make sure you find him, but if you abandon him, he'll leave you for good. Look sharp now! God has chosen you to build his holy house. Be brave, determined! And do it!"

We like the way The Message version of the Bible translates the last part of this passage. Got us thinking about how overwhelming taking on a new responsibility could feel or how a task sometimes seems too great to accomplish. Like King David did for his son Solomon in laying out a plan for the construction of the Temple, your Heavenly Father has designed a plan for you to succeed. When you discover His plan, you'll learn that all things begin and end in Him! In Revelation 1:8 God says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”

If all things begin and end in Him, then seek Him, find Him, get to know Him "well," and live life with a pure heart and motive. No matter how great the responsibility you have or how great a task you have been given, God has designed a plan for you to succeed. Look sharp now! Do what He has called you to do. Be brave, determined! And do it! You can do it!

Have a great day! God bless you.
