Nothing is more empowering & liberating
than trusting God's Sovereignty!
Others often intend something to harm you
but God is greater than their scheme
They THINK they're in control
God laughs at that
He's USING them to position you
for greater effectiveness & blessing
Dont Worry

“Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It makes me feel glad to be alive. It's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything."

For 55 yrs my Life Verse has been Acts 13:36
"David served #thePurposeofGod in #HisGeneration"
Do what's timeless in a timely way.
Serve what's eternal in a relevant way.
Live for what never changes in a world that is constantly changing.
THAT defines a truly successful life!

However, on the same day it snowed on Saddleback Mountain I picked these oranges, tangerines, lemons, and avocados from some of the many fruit trees I planted in my back yard 30 years ago.

I was confronted with this in my quiet time reading today:
"Do not mistreat those who are widows, those who are orphaned, those who are immigrants, or those who are poor. And don't even think evil against others in your heart." Zechariah 7:10

Behind every self-defeating habit is a lie you believe.
Identify the lie and believe the truth.
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

I apologize. I wrote poorly.
I don't believe Jesus was a centrist. He stands far above it all. “My kingdom is not of this world..." Jn.18:36
Jesus demands our total allegiance as the center of our lives.

Jesus: "Whoever #serves me must #FOLLOW me." Jn 12:26 Seems obvious, right?
But while serving Jesus in ministry, we can stop #following Him!
Instead, we start following politicians, podcasters, or peers-and our vision, values & priorities come from social media, not Jesus. #bad

In 55 years of serving God by serving others...
I learned I didn't need great faith to accomplish great things...
I just needed a simple faith in a Great God.
The size of your God, not the size of your faith, should determine the size of your goals.
