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.

In this season, many seem to have much through church programs, emotional displays of worship, Bible head knowledge, the false comfort of religious doctrine and worldly trappings of success.
Yet, they lack the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and the power thereof.
Take heed.
For it is written:
“Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”

You should become more and more like Him.
Your life should reflect the Kingdom of God.
Whether you preach out loud with words or by how you live you should be preaching the Kingdom of God not the religious doctrine and worldly ways of men.
