Are you available?

God never asks about our ABILITY or our INABILITY…just our AVAILABILITY.

“I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then said I, ‘Here am I; send me.’”

OBSERVATIONS:

From Ripley’s BELIEVE it or not…a picture of a plain bar of iron…value $5. 

It can be fashioned: 

A pair of horseshoes -- $50

Sewing needles -- $5,000

As balance springs for fine Swiss watches -- $500,000!

The material is not what is most important.  The development of the material IS!

So it is with each of us…the choice is to be AVAILABLE for God to develop us as He knows best.  

Do you believe in luck?

Success is only a matter of luck…any failure can tell you that.

However, if we are willing to listen to those who have succeeded, we will hear statements like these:

“The only good luck many GREAT PEOPLE ever had was being born with the ability and the determination to overcome bad luck.”

“Bad luck is, in nine out of ten cases, the result of saying PLEASURE FIRST and DUTY SECOND, instead of DUTY FIRST and PLEASURE SECOND.”

“Shallow people believe in luck; wise and strong people in CAUSE AND EFFECT.”

“Luck is a very good word, if a person puts the letter “P” before it.”
