Motivational Monday: Accountability Partner

Psalm 62:5-12 "I depend on God alone; I put my Hope in Him..."

 

It's essentially still the beginning of a new year as well as the beginning of a new month. At the start of the year many of us make New Year Resolutions to lose weight, stop cursing, stop smoking, or to improve whatever area of your life that is necessary. In doing this we seek out an accountability partner, but why do we put so much pressure on man who has proven himself to be just as unworthy and unreliable as we've been to ourselves?

I get it! We all have goals, they may all be different, but nonetheless we all have them. Sometimes we need that extra push to accomplish our goals or to initiate the process of being productive daily. An accountability partner is usually a person that can do that and be that for us right? Who is your accountability partner? How dependent is he/she? Probably not as dependable as Jesus. May I make a suggestion? Why not let Jesus be your accountability partner? I don't know anyone else who knows you better than He does and actually He knows you and your purpose better than you do. Allowing Him to be your accountability partner will not only help you accomplish your goals but it will also strengthen your relationship with Him; aligning your goals with His purpose. Still not convinced? Okay let me give you a few reasons why Jesus is more than capable of being your accountability partner.

1. He's Jesus! He conquered the grave...has your current accountability partner done that?
2. He is the reason breathe is breathed into you daily and your limbs have the ability to move
3. He can give you strength when you are weak. Yes your current accountability partner may be willing to do that for you, but it is impossible for them to actually do it.

So, I challenge and motivate you this Monday morning at the start of a new month to allow Jesus to be your accountability partner. Try to live up to the standards that He has set your you only then will you truly be able to live in your purpose and accomplish yours goals. He's is the only person you should strive to please daily.
