Nothing is Wasted
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:58)

The Best Game Plan
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. (1 Timothy 4:7-8)
There is so much training that goes into every sport that we watch on television. Every person that plays a sport knows that you cannot enter it blindly. You must take it seriously and train as much as possible for it. I know if I were going to be in a marathon, I would train for it. My body would need the physical training. In fact, right now my body is going through physical therapy for my neck. It’s a therapy to train the muscles in my neck to work properly. I have noticed a huge difference through this training, as my neck becomes stronger and the rotation of it gets to a normal performance.
God’s Doing the Thinking
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:8-11)
This is a very packed passage and I pray you find all the meaning in it for your own life, as I unfold the meaning of it in my own life. I truly enjoy how the beginning starts. God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. Sometimes this is difficult to understand. Like Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” We would all rather follow the trail that more footsteps have been on, the one that looks a little easier.
