Have you ever been disappointed when something didn’t happen when you thought it should? I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been there. Usually in that disappointment, we get caught up in being angry that God didn’t “show up” when we thought he should. But what if we are forgetting that God’s timing isn’t the same as ours…it’s better!…

We have trust issues. The truth is, it’s time to get serious about our God. He’s at the door and He’s knocking, and if we’ll turn to Him, He’ll take control of our lives and He’ll transform us.

If we’re going to get serious about this battle, we’ve got to hide God’s Word in our heart. And if we’re going to have victory from one moment to the next, we’ve got to be ready.

Satan has a scheme, and he keeps attacking and attacking. And far too many times he gets the victory. What’s our only hope? God is who He says He is and this is who I am in Him and I’m going to hold onto that. No matter what happens. I’m going to hold on to the truth and I’m going to put on the full armor of God.…

We can live in victory. Because of Jesus the war has been won. But we can live in victory over the enemy. Greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world.

Paul recognized God’s vision for his life, and in doing so, he found Purposeful clarity.

Isn’t it time to live the life God created you to live?…

You’ve got to lift your perspective above your problem and recognize God’s promise. Look beyond the obstacle and focus on the opportunity. If you’ll press through, you’ll find the promise land that God has planned for your life. You’ve just got to press through!

If you’ll decide today, that you’re going to step out, even with potential uncertainty, if you’ll step out and follow Him, if you’ll trust Him each step of the way, you’ll be amazed at what God will do through you.

God has a vision, a plan for your life. He has you here for a reason. We’re not here to just wing it. If money were no object, what would you do with the rest of your life? It’s time to face this life with vision. It’s time to follow God’s plan.
