Write it Down

By

“And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.” (Ex 31:18) “Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery…. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you? … But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not… and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” (John 8:4-7)

We are continuing with the “Enter into Work” theme based on the creation of dry land on the third day and its implications to business. I want you to notice from the Scriptures above that when God wanted to write something down, He wrote it on the land - sometimes in rock and sometimes in the dirt. Yesterday, we talked about planning; but if your objective merits a plan, it merits being written down so that it can be reviewed and shared with others. 

Writing something down implies importance and we pay attention to what we have deemed important by our previous actions. A written plan is no guarantee that we will follow it any more than a written mission statement posted in the board room means that it will be followed, but it is an important start. Then do what Eric Beck advises and put the action steps of the plan into your day timer. Create a time slot and make a written appointment with yourself to accomplish the tasks. Why? Because most people give the highest priority to appointments and very low priority to “to do” lists.

Quick note: We will be doing a mini seminar at the Christian Trade Show in Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday, September 30^th entitled 7 Wealth Secrets of the Rainforest. Click here for details
