Lets talk about life's "transitional" moments for today. Because it's those moments of transformation that move people forward, set them back or keep them in a state of stalemate. Transformation is instrumental in the process of tremendous achievement. Look at the Bible, the 2 book of Samuel to be specific. In chapter 23 the author describes what we generally call "David's Mighty Men." It describes the tremendous exploits of these warriors. I mean jaw dropping, breath taking feats by these men. Now after reading this, you would think these men were raised up to be fighters, warriors, champions. I mean who could accomplish these types of feats except truly great men.
Well, you would be WRONG, I mean wronger (ha ha ha) than 2 left shoes. We are talking about transformation being instrumental in our life. Well it was truly instrumental in David's life and the lives of his mighty men. Because in chapter 22, one chapter earlier, we find out where these men came from. And my friends, they came from a place that some of us are very familiar with. David had fled to a place called the Cave of Adullam, and while he was there his family and others heard he had fled for safety there. So what did they do, joined him there. And they came from that place we come from, "fear, anxiety, disappointment, discouragement, debt, frustration, confusion, defeat after defeat, poor self image or self esteem and on and on." About 400 men came and stayed with David at this cave. Transformation begins! This was one of David's and these "mighty men" greatest moments of transformation. Like you, like me - we truly do have great things buried deep inside of us. And we have to make up our minds that our PAST, does not determine our FUTURE. If that were the case, these men would of just stayed in the cave. Just like I would of stayed hidden under a rock somewhere because of the choices of my past, or you would of stayed hidden because of your past. But transformation begins and we get the awesome account of the exploits & feats of these tremendous men. Doing things that a chapter earlier they never could of imagined doing.
So, what about you today? Will you claim your next level of greatness? Will you take new actions today to reach your potential? Will you drop some bad habits or actions that limit your success? Will you set amazing, not reachable goals? It's your time - it's your time to step into what God has already ordained and aligned for you. For David and his band of brothers it was in a cave. For me, it was through death & divorce. I don't know what it was or is for you but your "Time for Transformation" has arrived. Don't allow fear of failure to keep you from even trying to succeed. take hold of the wheel of your life and like we used to say in the day, "drive it like you stole it!"
