If you want to live a purpose driven life impact is the priority. On the contrary, most self-help books advise doing the difficult thing first instead of the most impactful thing.

For example – if you had two things on your to-do list:

1. Cash a winning lottery ticket for £10million

2. Run a marathon

One is much harder than the other and there is a clear option which will have the greater impact! Cash. That. Ticket. NOW!

In 2 Chronicles 20 King Jehoshaphat is surrounded by the Moabites, Ammonites and the Meunites. From an outsider’s perspective Jehoshaphat has three options: fight, run or surrender. The most difficult thing to do is fight. But Jehoshaphat chooses to do what has the greatest impact which is set his eyes on Jesus.

Jehoshaphat speaking “For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12

The last sentence acknowledges that, you do not know what to do, is powerful beyond measure.

When you say Jesus, you are in control, truly mean it and step to the side. You position yourself to stand directly under the waterfall of God’s goodness.

Putting your eyes on Jesus means removing your eyes from your situation, detaching from the vision of your worst nightmares, and positioning them on Jesus the ultimate problem solver.

You may be struggling financially, physically or mentally. The solution is humility and a maintenance of your eyes on Jesus. “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12 – remember this verse.

The thing with greatest impact is not always the hardest thing. Following impact is an outcome driven approach, following difficulty is an effort driven approach. Choose outcome and change your life.

Live a lift of impact.

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• Humility is attractive to God. It triggers the switch of acknowledgement that you cannot but that God can. Have a spirit of humility.

• When you do not know what to do put your eyes to Jesus and maintain this posture.

• Live a life of impact not a life of effort.
