I have been reading excerpts from a number of books lately and this hit me profoundly.
How you position yourself to recieve makes all the difference. For example, as you read this book, if you position yourself to recieve by saying to the Lord, "I will take action on what you show me," you will benifit more than if you read just to be motivated or inspired. Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility. Position yourself to be ready for responsibility.
Opportunities drop in your lap if you have a lap where opportunities can drop. When you don't position yourself to receive, it's like praying for a bushel but only carrying a cup. Don't pray for rain if your going to complain about the mud.
When a person is positioned correctly, he is ready for all that God has for him.
From "An Enemy Called Average" by John L. Mason
