How do we get out of the constant cycle of comparison?
Here is a spiritual checkup we can use to reflect on what our social media usage might be telling us about our hearts.
The Bible is full of people who have learned from God how to be friends that understand, connect with, admire, challenge, and love each other.
When we experience testing, pain and failure in our lives, it is easy to give into fear and doubt. “Flipping the Switch” is about learning to let God use our personal passion, ambition, dreams, pain, and setbacks for his greater purpose of saving lives.
God exerts and expresses an unwavering perseverance when he sees our good days having gone bad. He doesn’t stop loving us when we fail, sin, or give up.
This is a lesson for all of us about running and quitting. Before we “give up the ghost,” maybe we should check with God to find out if he has a plan.
The goal for today is to prepare your heart and mind to let go, whoever it is against, whatever was done, and wherever it happened.
There is one thing to remember about God: when he speaks, more often than not, it is in a whisper.
When we pray and hear our own emotions, we often identify the raging irrationality of what we are saying, and are surprised by the gentleness of God who listens, then draws even closer to us, because of our emotional honesty.
We can be sure of is this, no matter how far we run or how much we sleep, God will keep waking us up.
Resist the temptation to let fear induced stress make us quit for relief. Instead, rely on God to get through, realizing fear is an emotion we can conquer especially when it is based on tomorrows that may never come.
Have you ever had that feeling? Everything is going about as well as it can go, and then you begin to wonder, “how long can this last?”
