Maturity is not a given with numerical age. Wisdom is not necessarily something that comes with the passage of years. To grow beyond yourself is surely a start.
See the needs of others. Be a blessing.
Instead of chasing after things, seek the Lord’s wisdom for your life. Let Him work in you and through you for the glory of His Kingdom “for such a time as this!”
For it is written:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
God does not forget His promises. They are Yes and Amen!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to hold fast to the profession of your faith. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to believe without doubt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to trust Him despite what you may see around you.
The Kingdom of God operates quite differently from the natural flow of things. What looks like mission impossible in the natural is totally possible with God!
Life is a journey. Some places are just stop-overs. Some require a longer stay. And some are of a more permanent nature.
Whatever your situation, make the most of it. Seek the beauty. Enjoy the scenery.
Each situation brings its own lessons. Grow from them. Let them make you a better person. Let Christ be your strength.
For it is written:
“Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and
Are you living in abundance? Jesus came to give you life more abundantly. Sadly, many think this simply means the abundance of earthly things such as money, big cars, fame, a big house or material things.
The abundance He speaks of includes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. The abundance He speaks of softens your heart (for it is always a heart issue) and lets His compassion flow through you to others. His abundance is most notable in being able to rest in His peace despite what is
Just pay attention and stay open. Then, you will see His hand blessing you throughout your day. Heaven-sent blessings can be found in the humblest moments. Simplify your expectations.
Let God be God.
Let’s magnify the Lord every day and walk in His glory!
For it is written:
“Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.”
Many are consumed with things they have heard, read or been taught. They sadly have lost the ability to be open to anything new that does not fit into the box of their comfort zone. Being so restrained can keep you imprisoned emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Jesus came to set free those held captive within the confines of religious doctrine or words spoken over them. If you are living bound by the doctrine or words of man on any level, seek Him. So many live far beneath what Jesus died to give His followers.
At the pool of Bethesda, in the story of the man who had been infirm for thirty eight years, you can only imagine the brokenness he experienced during that time.
He says he has no one.
Have you ever been abandoned by friends or family as you walked through a long challenge? Some may come along side you initially but few if any stay for the entire journey. Such is life.
