By faith these people over-threw Kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength, they became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith. -Hebrews 11:33-34, 39

This is it. Your only life. You get one shot to do something with it. One shot to make a difference. One shot to share the stage with the faith giants in Hebrews 11. One shot to do something great for God. We’re on the battlefield. We don’t get to do this again.

I want to live everyday by this mantra:

“I despaired at the thought that my life might slip by without seeing God show himself mightily on our behalf.”

This video fires me up every time I watch it. Watch it. Be inspired. Dream Big. Ask Big. Go for it. “If you have the audacity to ask, God has the ability to respond.” -Steven Furtick

What will people say about what we did with our lives? Will people be able to look at our lives and say that God did the impossible?

The World is Waiting for Change. God’s people are the change the world is waiting for. Seize your vision. Activate your faith. Make Your Move.

“You only get to live once, but if you do it right, once is enough” -Fred Allen

What are you waiting for?

¹¹ “Is God’s comfort too little for you? Is his gentle word not enough? ¹² What has taken away your reason? What has weakened your vision,¹³ that you turn against God and say all these evil things?           -Job 15:11-13

Do you ever have circumstances come into your life where it feels like even God won’t be able to get you through it? Maybe you’ve been a Christian for a while, and you know what God’s Word says about your situation, but your heart has become hardened.

I read those verses in Job and was blown away! “Is God’s comfort to little for you? Is His gentle Word not enough? What’s taken away your reason? What has weakened your vision to the point where you’re questioning God’s ability to get you through?

Toward the end of the book of Job, God asks him, “Where were you when I created the universe? The Heavens? The earth?”It was this question that finally got Job back on track, back to believing in the goodness of God.

I think sometimes we forget who it is we serve. I know I do. We serve the creator of the universe. Anytime we get our eyes on anything other than the greatness of God, our reason will be taken away and our vision will weaken.

God is always enough.

We just have to make a concious to decision to trust Him with everything in us and not lean to our own understanding. If you find your reasoning being taken away and your vision weakening, you’re not trusting God.

Spend some time in worship and prayer. Thank God for all the good things He’s done in your life. As you press into Him, the hardness in your heart will fade, and God will lift you from your current situation.
