“Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning (Luke 12:35)

Readiness ~ this part of abiding is essential to daily life - this is not eating bonbons and watching soap operas.  You have your assignment - there is no fairy godmother!  Just do what you’re responsible for doing ~ get dressed and go to work!  Piece by piece with patience …. just do it!

Faithfulness ~ God put within us both to will and to do His good pleasure - He has equipped each one with abilities that are unique and qualified.

Responsibility ~ Joyfully perform the mundane and let God send the assignments.

Assignments ~ God’s assignments are divine appointments.  You don’t have to work it up or force it to take place.  How often have I said while sharing with others - ‘that person right in front of you is your next assignment’

Choice ~ We have a choice - pick it up or live in disobedience 

“To be ready we must simply do the next thing” (pwoods)
