There are many times in life where we want to take the easy way, just to get the task at hand out of the way. There is a difference between "working smarter, not harder" and cheating yourself. Don't get the two mixed up. This especially comes into play when working in the Lord's name.
God has plans for you. He has your life on schedule the way He knows best. Don't rush God, don't cheat Him by taking matters into your own hands assuming the end with justify the means. When you try to take control from God, it will ultimately end in failure. You may get a little ways down the road…you may accomplish something in your own name…but in the end, it will come crashing down. Recall yesterdays passage from John 15:5, apart from Me, you can do nothing.
In closing, remember…God loves you, He is not ruling your life like a dictator, He is leading your life, discipling you, as you disciple others. Our plans may not line up totally with His plans for us, but if you just give Him control, surrender your lives, I guarantee life is going to be a lot better.
