Living life of “I Can”
Knocking at God’s doorstep
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “The evidence of God’s great power is all over your life. Live confidently knowing out living, omnipotent God dwells with in.”
Knowing that God is ever-present motivates us to think, speak, and behave in ways that glorify Him.
From U: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.”
Whenever you’re not sure how God thinks about sin or deals with it, go to His Word. He will guide you into truth.
From Titus 3:3-5: “For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”
Christ came from God and a woman. Man had nothing to do with Him.
I feel safe even in the midst of my enemies; for the truth is powerful and will prevail.
From Proverbs 21:2: “All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart.”
World around us
Views outer selves
Not always true
God sees ourselves
Examines hearts
What’s false, what’s true
Peeling away
Each beating clue
Colleagues at work
Neighbors and friends
Hold opinions
Not through God’s lens
God’s view prevails
Noting actions
Mindful of thoughts
Weighs each fraction
Most important
True motives say
Pure intentions
Every day
From the words of American Christian author, John Eldredge: “If the narrative of the Scriptures teaches us anything, from the serpent in the Garden to the carpenter in Nazareth, it teaches us that things are rarely what they seem, that we shouldn’t be fooled by appearances.”
