As I was cutting my grass today after work, I received a rhema from the Holy Spirit. The voice was clear, “Don’t watch other people on television, rather make history by taking risks. If you fail you fail, at least you can say you tried.” Immediately following this rhema, the Lord gave me a great idea for a new product to sell on Ebay.
Like most guys, I enjoy watching sports on television. However, God has been convicting me to do other things beside watching a ball game, sporting event or golf. There are times when it is enjoyable to watch history, like seeing the Phillies win the 2008 World Series. Although, if you add up the number of hours per week you and your family watch television, it would likely be shocking. Therefore, turn off the television and begin to make your own history.
The apostle Paul gives us a blue print of mistakes to avoid in 1 Corinthians 10:1-13. Some of these reminders are no brainers, yet some of his points bring life into its proper perspective. In the movie Dead Poets Society Robin Williams introduces his students to the term Carpe Diem, Latin for seize the day. As the American Economy continues to flounder, the spirit of entrepreneurs needs to be revived by stop being on the sidelines of life watching television and begin to make the history God designed you to do, Jeremiah 29:11.
