Don't waste a second

“Pray diligently.  Stay alert, with your eyes wide open in gratitude… Make the most of every opportunity…” 

-Colossians 4:2-6 MSG

In a nutshell: Make the most out of your life – don’t waste a single second of it.

Taking care of your flocks.

"Be diligent to know the state of your flocks and look well to your herds; For riches are not forever..." Proverbs 27:23,24

Take time, right now, to analyze the things that mean the most to you.  What do you wake up for everyday?  Is it God and family, or is it money and power?  If it is the latter, then now would be a really good time to re-think your life, otherwise you may find yourself overfilled with riches and power, but filled with an emptiness that pulls you down until you can no longer get up.  Therefore, know the important things in life - God and family - and keep them first, because when you feel like you're on your last leg, then those are the things that will help you decide between life or death.  

Choose God and family; choose life!!

Standards to live by

“Lying lips are extremely disgusting and hateful to the Lord, but they who deal faithfully are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22

“The hand of the diligent [steadfast, conscientious, purposeful, busy, careful] will rule…” Proverbs 12:24

Hold yourself to the these standards: honest, ethical, trustworthy, diligent, and pure; because not only can being a leader be amazing, but being a delight to God is the highest goal in life to strive for!!
