WISH BONE OR BACK BONE
Every morning, for the last 30 years or so,I do a devotional. This is the time I spend in the Word of God, and put down my thoughts and feelings in my journal.
This morning, as I was listening to Joyce Meyer, noted teacher of God’s word and a very accomplished writer, She brougth up a point that got my attention .”Do You Have a Wish Bone or a Back Bone ?”
A wish bone in a chicken or turkey is a forked bone,formed by the fusion of the two clavicals, in front of the breast bone. The back bone, in all creatures, is the completes support of all the skeletal structure . One can live without a wish bone, but never without a back bone..
How does this apply to our lives or this blog ? Well, in our lives we all have made the statements “I wish I had, or I wish I could, or I wish they would….” These statements are based on, past actions, or future dreams or on another person. They seem unatainable, and fleeting. A person who bases their life on wishes, seldom get results.
Now, we shall address the person who chooses to be the ” back bone” kind of person. This as a person that refuses to let go of their dream, not matter what obstacles are in front of them. That works toward the goals set before them in spite of adversity. A person, who will fight to the death for a cause they believe in. Those with a backbone always achieve the goal set before them.
What ever situation you are facing at this time, where it be a broken marriage, a contemplated career move, a child who has strayed from the fold, or a dream of fame. How will you handle the situation ?
WITH A WISH BONE OR A BACK BONE ?
