Built It

After General Stonewall Jackson told his engineers to plan and build a bridge so the army could cross the river, he called his wagon master in to tell him that it was urgent that the wagon train cross the river as soon as possible. The wagon master started gathering all the logs, rocks and fence rails he could find and built a bridge. Long before daylight, General Jackson was told by his wagon master all the wagons and artillery had crossed the river. General Jackson asked, “Where are the engineers and what are they doing?” The wagon master’s only reply was that they were in their tent drawing up plans for a bridge.

I like people who can get the job done in spite of those hindering them, some out of their own camp. People like that don’t blame others because they are too busy working for the good.

Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Get out there and go to work. Regardless of what others beside you might be doing. Give it some thought.
