The LORD is my strength and my shield; my
heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him. (Psalm 28:7)
I am a very routine orientated person. I love my routines. I
wake up at four, then I go to the gym and then to work and after school I pick
up my kids and then we do homework and then I go and do my second job where I train
kids. Having my kids at home is part of that routine and if you want to punish
me you must take my kids out of my routine. So, I prefer structure and if you
look at how I train and how I work it all has structure. Plus, I am a very analytical
person, which means I am a right brainer. To top it all I am an introvert and I
am not at ease in a crowd. Wow, no wonder my wife left.
Structure may be annoying for some, but to me it works. There
is also structure in my life and this means that I always have my prayer time where
I give my day and my challenges to the Lord. I prefer routine to not having a specific
time for everything which means I get to do all the things I normally do in a
day. The only downfall is that by the end of the day I am exhausted, and I normally
fall asleep in mere seconds.
Structure also helps me with those do and don’ts. Since I like
structure, I also use it in my diet and in my life style. I am a very health
conscious person, so I will only eat what is healthy and good for my body. It adds
to my faith where I am fully trusting the Lord. Structure also gives me focus
and a goal. In all I am goal orientated and driven to achieve them.
Knowing that I can not do all this on my own is a huge part
of my success. You see, I know I can’t do it, but God will be my strength and
my shield, so I trust Him and therefore I have much more joy in my life. I know
He will change my circumstances, because He is already at work and He will build
on the structure I already have so that I will overcome all my burdens and
stand victorious for His glory in the end.
The other important thing is that I know God’s place in my structure
and in what I achieve. I know what He does, and I glorify Him. God first and
then the rest is how I structure it. I will give Him all the glory for all that
I have and all that I do. This means that I praise Him as much as possible for
everything. From the small stuff all the way to the big ones.
Now, you may not like it, but a little structure to your life
can have massive fruitful results.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
