How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, Your God reigns!(Isaiah 52:7) Jim Rohn said, The first rule of management is this: Dont send your ducks to eagle school. Why? Because it wont work. Good people are found not changed. They can change themselves, but you cant change them. You want good people, you have to find them. If you want motivated people, you have to find them, not motivate them. I picked up a magazine not long ago in New York that had a full-page ad in it for a hotel chain. The first line of the ad read, We do not teach our people to be nice. Now that got my attention. The second line said, We hire nice people. I thought, What a clever shortcut!2 In spite of the spin of the daily news—emphasizing mostly bad news in the world around us while neglecting most of the good news—God is at work in todays world. He does have a plan and is looking for motivated people to do his work here on earth—to stand in the gap to proclaim salvation and save lost souls—for it is only motivated people who get Gods work done. The half-hearted never make it. Motivation comes from within—from people who are genuinely committed to Christ and desire to see Gods work on earth done—and get involved in doing it. You, too, can have a vital role in what God is doing in the world today—the world in which you live. There is no greater privilege on earth … no greater reward in heaven … and no greater way to invest your life for time and eternity—than to be a part of Gods plan and what he is doing in your world today. Sometimes it takes involvement to get motivated. The monthly thing Friends
