Is it time to eat yet?

New Heights Men at New Heights Church Message from: Alex Hedgepeth  Hey Guys, Man, was that a game Monday night? Sorry LSU fans, but you have to admire the effort Bama put into that game. What was the difference? In a word, hunger. LSU had spent months hearing about how great they were and Bama stayed hungry to win. There was no doubt who was better prepared. I saw LSU run one play that Bama wasn’t ready for. I didn’t see that LSU was ready for very many of Bama’s plays. That showed a lot of effort spent during the holidays to get ready for this game. Now you know that I don’t talk a lot about sports in this blog, so that game can’t be my point. Hunger is the point. “How bad do you want it” is a topic I have addressed here before, I just had a good example of it this past Monday. A friend of mine asked the question “Do you know the difference between patience and resignation?” the other day and I think a lot of it boils down to how bad to you want something. A patient man never loses sight of his goal, a resigned man quit thinking about his goal a long time ago. A patient man that follows God knows that God is making him into the kind of man he needs to be to be able to follow God’s plan for him. That plan that requires faith, wisdom, revelation, risk taking, lots of things that don’t come easy. A resigned man has taken the path of least resistance and is just marking time until he dies wondering why his life has no passion (his wife is wondering that too, btw). So here’s to the New Year men, not to the resolutions you have already broken, but to something much deeper, the thing that God is using to stir your heart for you to be the man He created you to be. May your journey keep you hungry always.   Your Brother Alex Upcoming!
