Could You Turn Down $350,000.00?

The following entry is from

2011,and it seemed “spot on” for this

season as well.“Money is good

only if you really need something.”-

Larry Bird.Jill Leone, Bird’s agent, recalled Bird

turning down $350,000 for an

endorsement spot when he was with

the Celtics. He said, “If I miss my

afternoon nap,I won’t be rested

enough to play my best.”Larry Bird probably 

 did not know it, but in the event

his agent recalled about Larry Bird, 

he was practicing“Sabbath living.”

Sabbath living is having the

courage to set limits, to finish things

and experience rest that restores.

You may by saying to yourself,

“Well, that was easy for Larry Bird;

he made millions playing basketball.”

But for a Christian, it should be even

easier;they are trusting in their

Father God to withhold not one good

thing from them(Psalm 84:11),but

to provide, protect,and promote

them exceedingly and abundantly

more than they could even think or

ask.(Ephesians 3:20).

Take action!Colossians 4:5 (NIV) Be

wise in the way you act

toward outsiders; make

the most of every opportunity.

Take action today.Do one wise thing

about the issue that is confronting you.

Planning, preparing,and praying are all good

and necessary things to do, but there comes a

time when action is required.

The faithful accumulation of tiny,

wise actions will eventually get you

where you want to be.Do something today.
