1 Corinthians 9:26 ESV "So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air." I had to ask myself why was I doing it?! Today's verse speaks of purpose and not going with out direction! I began to take stock of why I did what I did and when I did it. I took a serious look at what I was doing and what did I expect the outcome to be. I began to find areas in my life where it seemed as if I was just doing things to do things, there was no productive reason for doing them.  I began to make changes, thinking more of the reason I was doing them rather than just doing them. When we want to move forward in our life, we need to take a good look at where we are, and how much we are willing to cut out of our life and add to our life to be productive. When it comes to the things of the Lord, obviously cutting sin out and reading His Word more is a great place to start being more productive! Maybe it's time we stop just beating the air and get down to business! peace, tom
