Striking While the Iron is Hot

Often we get ideas on the spur of the moment, but do we take them to heart? Do we pay attention to those ideas? We have to strike while the iron is hot. We can’t let our ideas get cold because if we do, they will be sitting on the back burner simmering never coming to a boil.

I know there are distractions that keeps us from focusing on what we want to do, but we have to push through those distractions to stay focused on the ideas we want to see come to reality.

It takes hard work to create things you want to see from your ideas. It may take months or even years before it becomes a reality, to see your idea in your hands, to take pictures of it, but as long it takes when it’s finished it will bring you so much joy.

There are times when we may feel like our ideas may be foolish, but no idea is foolish, what is foolish is not considering the idea, you may never know how good it may have turned out if you don’t try to make it happen.

The idea could be about something you may have wanted to do a long time ago but never had the chance to get to it. It could have been an Idea you had as a kid and forgot all about it. It could have been something you saw and wanted to elaborate on it a little. It could have been a dream you had that you wanted to see come true, but you never acted on it, you put it on the back burner and left it there to simmer and steep out.

We have to realize where our ideas come from, they come from God because He gave them to us before we were born, and He planted them in our hearts. Whenever we get an idea, we need to thank God for it. The ideas He gives us are connected to our blessings to bring Him glory for the Kingdom of God. We are creative thinkers…creative human beings. When we think about it and realize it, God is creative as well. He created everything just by speaking. He didn’t wait, or procrastinate when He created everything. He struck while the iron was hot. He spoke with power and authority, He called it what it was supposed to be and it still is.

We have to speak to our dreams just as our ideas if we want to see them in reality. When God said LET THERE BE, it was. We must have that same faith to speak to everything in our lives that we want to see happen that is good and righteous in God’s eyes.

Don’t let your ideas fade. Strike while the iron is hot. You never know what you can do until you try. I have learned how to do so much just by trying to do new things. Whenever I get an idea, I jump on it, I do not wait until later. I know it is why I am always up being creative because I get new ideas in the early morning before the sun comes up. It has always been like this for me. Until next time, do not ignore your thoughts because your thoughts can turn out to be good ideas that are pleasing to God. As always, thank you for joining me on my journey with Food for the Soul. God bless all of your endeavors.
