Do you trust in God or in yourself?

What makes you extraordinary isn’t your job title or how cool you look – it is the heart change and transformation that God is doing in you.

There are times in our life when we know God is asking us to do something we don’t really want to do or is leading us in a direction we don’t really want to go. In these moments, we know it is Him, but we don’t want to do it.

Moses gave the Israelites a ton of laws but 28 times reminded them – you were a slave in Egypt and God redeemed you. In other words – the life you live in the promised land better reflect that truth and reality. Jesus came and fulfilled the law by giving us grace and truth.

What treasure has God put in your sack that you view as a burden?

God's grace is bigger than your sin.

Sometimes in life we have to just keep digging. Often the endurance we need comes from just knowing we are where God wants us to be and we are doing what God wants us to do. Other than that, just keep digging.

To run the race God has for us we need to keep our eyes focused. But, that is not always easy.
