The Top 10%
When I was reflecting on the passage below, I was struck by the thought of the 10% – the top 10%
There are many that have a dream, desire or goal and are actively pursuing them. They seek advice and help. They take actions from their advisors and they see results.
These are the 90% ‘ers who are doing what is needed to strive and achieve. They sought out advice and had the discipline to take the necessary actions to achieve their goal.
This discipline and action of faith also accelerated their outcomes.
They are the “cleansed”.
But
There are a few of us, the leaders- I call the top 10% ‘ers, that go above and beyond.
We remember, think of and take time aside to thank and glorify god for his mercy, compassion, provision, faithfulness and for his works.
We show our reverence and appreciation through the behaviors of praise, gratitude and adoration.
We recognize that our success is an outward expression of the divine favor and Blessing that that is on our lives.
This sensitivity and awareness not only gets us “cleansed” but we are also made “whole”- nothing missing, nothing broken.
That is so powerful.
That is so moving.
That is so awesome.
Be encouraged.
Be Blessed.
Be Whole.
“And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests.
And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.”
Luke 17:14-19 KJV
