Best days and / or Great things are coming....

Frequently, members of Facebook and other Social Media proclaim and promote these types of messages.


However, these promises devalue, or at best imply devaluation, our past and current achievements and experiences.


We only increase the value of our tomorrows to the extent that we perpetually grow in our trust of and relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.


We find greatness only through Christ, walking in the Spirit (Gal 5:16-26) and seeking God's will (Mt 7:21). God does have great plans for all who believe.


We must receive His wisdom to receive and comprehend this greatness. God's wisdom contrasts man's wisdom (1 Cor 2).


Our Best days and Great plans reside only in Jesus Christ, with a communicative relationship with the indwelling Holy Spirit.


See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!

Where do you park?


Leader vs. Servant:

A well-known Leadership guru boasts in one of his bestselling books that he prays for a parking spot near the front. After-all, he's a Leader. He deserves a front row parking spot, just ask him.

 

Conversely, the healthy Spirit-filled Servant joyfully parks in the back of the lot, praying that the front parking spots remain open for the elderly, women with small children, and others who truly benefit from less walking to a store or restaurant (Mt 20:26-28).
As one who loves the Lord with all of his heart, and seeks to love others as much as he loves himself, the Spirit-filled Servant considers first the needs of others.

Are you focused on yourself or serving others?

Christ calls us to joyfully serve others, this results from our walking in the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23).

Lord, how may I serve and glorify you today?
Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit, provide and direct my every thought, word, silence, stillness and action today.
God, you sent Christ to us as the ultimate example of serving and considering the needs of others--especially our need for the forgiveness of sins. Open my heart to always seek to live in your image by considering the needs of others, directing them to a communicative relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.


See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
