STAY IN YOUR LANE Comparison weakens concentration This life is a race, yet not a competition. It takes grit and decisive action to stay dominant in this world. You have a role to play if you'll ever make a difference early in this life. My counsel to you is that you learn to stay in your lane, run your race and mind your business if you’ll ever be productive. This way, you’ll have more time to develop yourself and prepare for what lies before you.

The seed from Masada produced a male date palm (which did not bear fruit), while other ancient seeds from the Qumran region later produced female trees that yielded edible fruit. This is deeply revelatory of the power of a seed — whether as a thought, deed, or action. These inputs never go unnoticed. They may lie dormant, but they sprout when the time is right. Indeed, God cannot be mocked — whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Galatians 6:7). My dear, I encourage you: press on in that deed and action. Commit yourself fully to the business and ministry you are involve...
