> Commenting upon the undisciplined life of Samuel Taylor Colendge, William
> Barclay writes: "Never did so great a mind produce so little. He left
> Cambridge University to join the army; he left the army because he could
> not rub down a horse; he returned to Oxford and left without a degree. He
> began a newspaper called The Watchman, which lived for ten editors then
> died. It could be said of him 'He lost himself in visisons of work to be
> done, that always remained to be done."
> Jesus understood His mission and He never deviated from it. He refused to
> be the victim of peer pressure or the expectations of others. He sought
> the approval of one person only-His Father! Just before He assumed public
> ministry He spent 40 days in the wilderness consulting with His Father.
> And don't forget the night He spent in prayer before chooseing His 12
> disciples. Finally, there was Gethsemane. Because Jesus was spiritually
> sharpened by moments alone with the Father, it was nver difficult for Him
> to say "no" to invitations and demands which might have looked good or
> acceptable to us. Here's a life changing insight you always have the time
> to do what God wants done. And you don't burn out in the process. You may
> not get done what you want done, or what others think needs done. But so
> what? Your goal should be to reach the end of life and say like Jesus, "I
> have brought You glory on earth by completing the work You gave Me to do."
