Just Do It!

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV


We tend to think of this verse in negative terms. Take sinful thoughts captive and keep them out of your mind. But that's only half the battle. If we focus on the negative implications while ignoring the positive possibilities, it becomes a half-truth. It’s also about capturing creative thoughts and keeping them in our minds. Simply put, it’s about stewarding every idea inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Every dream is created twice. The first creation is mental. Every invention, every business, every building, every painting is conceived in the right-brain imagination first. It’s nothing more than a single-cell idea at that point. The second creation is physical. You make it obedient to Christ via blood, sweat, and tears.

Your dreams will never exceed your imagination. You can’t achieve what you don’t believe. So idea generation is important.

Setting goals is fun and games. Going after them is another matter. Without perspiration to match your inspiration, your dream imagined will turn into a dream deferred.

Going after a dream is like riding a bike—you’ve got to get a little momentum to really get going.

Where do you stand on the road to execution of your God-given idea? It's time to go after it...just do it!
