God isn't interested in simply tweaking your behavior or stepping up your morality; He is all about radically transforming your entire life.

Consider this:
Christ’s return “will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen....Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last forever. We must take it or leave it.”
-C.S. Lewis

Reminded today of God's goodness, even when things aren't turning out as hoped.
God has got you...
God is preparing you...
God is at work. Trust Him.

‘Blessed are the peacemakers’
—Jesus

Being a peacemaker is more than keeping the peace. It is proactively pouring love into chaos and injustice.

God is bigger than your...
...disappointments
...circumstances
...mistakes
...sorrows
...failures
...past
...pain
...sin

Take it to Him and trust His mighty work in your life.

There are times when you honestly don’t know what to do... when your circumstances overwhelm you & you’re caught in feelings of hopelessness. These are real moments... painful, heartbreaking moments.
But we are never alone, never without hope. Lean on God. Trust Him. He is near.

Let your faith in God’s wisdom overcome your worries. When we get caught up in worrying we are taking everything upon ourselves, assuming God is not at work. Let’s move our focus off of the “what if’s” of worry and on to the compassion and power of God. Trust Him today.

May Christ reign IN you so others can see Christ THROUGH you...
Your life is a living testimony of the love and power of God.

Let it speak!

We are called to share the hope of Jesus... to extend His grace and celebrate His joy. Let’s never let a day pass where we aren’t actively engaged in spreading His love to others.

Stand up like a mountain; have faith like a rock; love like an avalanche

The challenges you face today create the character you need for tomorrow. Joseph was beaten, enslaved and imprisoned before rising to lead.

What consumes your mind will consume your life...

"Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable...think about such things"
Philippians 4.8

God takes our faithfulness in the small things and makes great things out of them.
Trust Him and remain faithful.

Don’t get so caught up in where you wish you were at this point in life. Rather, focus on where God has you right now. Be thankful and faithful and trust God with what comes next.

Committing time to focused prayer pulls us out of our limited mindset and leads us into the life-transforming, miraculous, mighty perspective of God.

Whatever is holding you back, whatever is getting you down,
whatever is pressing you under,
whatever it is,
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Spending some time in the presence of God changes everything.... our thoughts, our anxieties, our priorities, our attitudes, our hearts. So thankful for the power and blessing of His presence.

Challenge for the Day
Pause and reflect on this question: How is the Spirit at work in your life?

Sometimes we get so caught up in the daily grind that we miss the ways God is leading us and shaping us.

Slow down.
Look.
Listen.
Learn.
Lean in.
Live!

Jesus accepts us just as we are but loves us too much to leave us as we are. So thankful for His incredible love and faithfulness as we grow along our journey with Him.

To think, the very power that raised Jesus from death to life is offered to us today. May we all allow the Spirit to fill us, empower us and lead us into Resurrection life! It’s time to go all-in with Jesus.
