The Challenge....

We often think our only challenge in life is to win our game, run our race. The real challenge is to live our lives in such a way that we cause others to win as well. A great illustration is Moses, he led the Israelites into a great battle. If you are familiar with the story he stood on the top of the hill holding his staff in the air asking favor for his men. As his arms grew tired he lowered them..... Joshua and his army started losing. He raised his staff again and they began to win the battle. Moses soon realized that as long as his arms were held high asking for favor, his men won. Moses asked for others to help him keep his hands held high once he grew to tired to hold them on his own. He understood his challenge and lived his life to help his team or army win, not just himself. Do you understand yours? Are you helping everyone you can win their challenges or are you only interested in winning yours? Is it all about you or is there a bigger challenge here?
