Principles To Live By

I wish this was original, but its not. I found these six principles to live by and they should be incorporated into all our lives.
1) Don't worry when you are doing your best. God accepts no less but He demands no more.
2) Don't hurry when success depends on accuracy. Proverbs says "Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty."
3) Don't form conclusions until you have all the facts. We need to remember to "do unto others as we would like them to do unto you."
4) Don't believe a thing is impossible without trying it. When we are in God's will, our work can be a platform for Him to do amazing things.
5) Don't waste your time on trivial matters. What is it that only you can do best? When you answer that question you will know what you should do.
6) Don't think that good intentions are an acceptable excuse for doing nothing. Examine your life and get specific about what you should do.
In James 2:17 we read, "Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." We are not saved by our works but God has given us purpose. Let's make a difference!
