Get Ya Hustle On!  

Posted by Dat Other Hip Hop in , , , , , , ,

Work hard at whatever you do. You will soon go to the world of the dead, where no one works or thinks or reasons or knows anything. Ecc 9:10

I kinda like the King James version of that verse best, it reads whatever thy hands find to do, do it it with all thy might! Sounds like a Noble declaration doesn't it? Well it is. In modern day language it would read "Get ya hustle on and stay on the grind cause it will be over before ya know it and then it will be too late!

This phase of our lives here on the earth is a one shot deal...there will be no do overs. So the message is to make the most of this short amount of time we have been given and do our very best. Sometimes when I read the Gospels and look at the life of Jesus Christ it puts me to shame, He turned the World upside down in 3 short years...how's that for a "purpose driven life!" Jesus Himself told us to redeem or make good use of our time because the days are short...it's time out for playing, and remember there is no such thing as "Honorable Mention" in Heaven. So stop playing and Get On Yo Kingdom Grind!

Today's Challenge:  If today was your last day on earth, would you be confident that you have done all that you have been placed here to do?  Treat today and everyday hereafter as if there are only a limited amount of them available, and don't put off for tomorrow the things that you could do today.  It's time to live with both Passion & Purpose...Let's Go!

Time To Go Home.....

"There was once a man who had two sons. The younger said to his father, 'Father, I want right now what's coming to me. So the father divided the property between them.

It wasn't long before the younger son packed his bags and left for a distant country. There, undisciplined and dissipated, he wasted everything he had. After he had gone through all his money, there was a bad famine all through that country and he began to hurt. He signed on with a citizen there who assigned him to his fields to slop the pigs. He was so hungry he would have eaten the corncobs in the pig slop, but no one would give him any.

"That brought him to his senses. He said, 'All those farmhands working for my father sit down to three meals a day, and here I am starving to death. I'm going back to my father. I'll say to him, Father, I've sinned against God, I've sinned before you; I don't deserve to be called your son. Take me on as a hired hand.' He got right up and went home to his father.

"When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him. The son started his speech: 'Father, I've sinned against God, I've sinned before you; I don't deserve to be called your son ever again.'

"But the father wasn't listening. He was calling to the servants, 'Quick. Bring a clean set of clothes and dress him. Put the family ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Then get a grain-fed heifer and roast it. We're going to feast! We're going to have a wonderful time! My son is here—given up for dead and now alive! Given up for lost and now found!' And they began to have a wonderful time.

"All this time his older son was out in the field. When the day's work was done he came in. As he approached the house, he heard the music and dancing. Calling over one of the houseboys, he asked what was going on. He told him, 'Your brother came home. Your father has ordered a feast—barbecued beef!—because he has him home safe and sound.'       -Luke 15  11-27



 The young man in the story had lost his way.  We all have at one time or another.  Just like the young man in the story we think we can do it better than the way Our Father is showing us...but eventually just like the young man in the story we all find ourselves up to our necks in mess and slop...and it's at those moments that we get the same revelation the he did...that we are much better off going back home!  Where ever you are today...no matter what you have done it's never too late and never too far to come back home...stop running...pick yourself up and...
Go Back Home...He's Waitin For Ya with Open Arms!!!!!!
