Mission: Mindset Week Two - Knowing Your Maker
Happy Mission Mindset Monday fam! I am excited to start diving in with ya'll. The first lesson is (M) - Knowing your Maker. A Mission M.I.N.D.S.E.T. starts by knowing your Maker.
Recap from last week: You have a mission. Everything you do starts with your thoughts. In order to achieve the things you say you want to achieve, you must create a mental framework that drives you toward your end goal. That’s why I’ve come up with an acronym to help us. Because to live on mission, we need to have the right M.I.N.D.S.E.T. Click here if you missed last week's lesson
Think about it. Almost everything you interact with on a daily basis has been built, made, or designed. Your cell phone, the parts in your cell phone, your car, the highways you drive on, the building you work in, your laptop, your house, the clothes you wear, etc. All those things are created for a specific intention and function.
Just like a painting has an artist, and a skyscraper has an architect, it makes sense that the universe we live in has a Creator. And as I mentioned last week, our Creator has made you on purpose, with purpose. No matter who you are or where you’re at, there is a reason why you are here. And I’ll tell you what, it’s not just for money, success, or to build a comfortable life. Can that be part of your life? Sure. But that can’t be your mission. If it is, I’m sorry. You’re missing out. Your life is so much more! Your mission is so much more!
A Mission M.I.N.D.S.E.T. starts by knowing your Maker.
God first. Period.
Listen, you don’t have a mission without your Maker. You don’t have purpose without your Maker. You’re not going to have lasting impact without your Maker. Our Maker is the one who gives us these things.
See, when we know our Maker, we can know three of the most important things in life: the Person of God, the plan of God, and the purpose of God.
We know the person of God through His Son, Jesus, through what he did on the cross and how it counted for us. We get to know the plan of God through His Word (the Bible). And we get to live out the purpose of God when we put His Word into action.
A Mission Mindset starts by first recognizing where our mission came from and Who it is for. The apostle Paul wrote, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor. 10:31). Whatever you do, do it to the glory of God.
It’s for Him, it’s with Him, it’s through Him. Why?
Because He made us.
Go create a life that counts,
Timmy
Dig Deeper: Take some quiet time today and meditate on the fact that your mission is from & for your Maker. It’s only because of Him that we get to live on mission.
