It’s time to choose.
Your choices will determine your path in life; where you will go and how long it takes. You can stay right where you are; the comfortable place that is familiar and safe. Or you can dare to exceed your own expectations. Put aside the excuses, ignore the naysayers, and fully commit to excellence in all you do. Embrace the gifts God has blessed you with.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7 ESV)
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 3:7 ESV)
Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. (Proverbs 4:5-6 ESV)
A wise son hears his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. (Proverbs 13:1 ESV)
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6 ESV)
