You Make Me Brave - Amanda Cook & Bethel Music (Official Live Music Video)

Have you ever had a time when you were challenged by your Christian faith to do the right thing? Did you do it? Why? or Why not?  Were you brave enough, if convicted to do the right thing, to do it? What was your motive? You must respond to God's commands with a submissive and humble heart, not a heart of condemnation. This does not excuse you from being just or to allow justice to prevail. It guides you to understand whose justice we are seeking. I have failed at this myself but have grown to understand the benefit of following Him. 1 John 2:3-6" 3 By this we know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, " I have come to know Him." and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him. 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.

Don't Overlook the Small Stuff

I woke this morning thinking about the book I am writing.

I was reviewing a paragraph in the current chapter of which I was writing and realized I omitted some important experiences.  Too often, we are looking down the road at our goals and overlook each step that we take in pursuit.  Take the time to stop, and focus on where you are now and what God is doing now. Each step is significant in His eyes. Each step must be intentional.  Don't overlook what you consider to be the small stuff.  Without the step, you would be immobile.
