Possession Is 9/10 of Your Goal

A plan without possession is a piece of paper. With ownership, a plan gives us the power to move forward, face challenges, and win the day.

The old saying goes,"Possession is 9/10 of the law". If you desire to create a new law of behavior for your life or attain a goal, this is a very handy principle to remember.

If you will take responsibility for the tithe of your goals you will have the rest. Need to lose 20 pounds? Enact the steps to lose two. Then, execute your plan until that goal is reached.

I have started an exercise program. It is a mutually beneficial agreement between one of my parishioners and myself. He is recovering from an heart attack. I am preparing to run with my sister, Teresa in November. I have nine weeks to attain my goal. My tithe was agreeing to exercise, choosing a place, and marking a course. My friend Bob now makes sure I walk/run every morning and I make sure he does.

I am also writing a series of devotional books called Daddy's Little Book of Wisdom. For each volume to be written, I have to write a paragraph each day. Anything above that I'm simply accelerating towards reaching my goal.

What is it to which God is calling you today? Break it down. Tithe it to the Lord. Then, establish the appropriate steps to see your tithe open up the windows of heaven and the blessing of God produce growth and change in your life!
