Spiritual Growth Work Place

And the winner is…. last place!

“He sat down and summoned the Twelve. “So you want first place? Then take the last place. Be the servant of all.” (Mark 9:35 The Message)

 I was awestruck while reading this passage. It’s clear and concise. No ambiguity. No interpretation needed. No bible dictionary or lexicons needed. It’s plain and simple. If you want to be first, then take the back seat. Allow yourself to be used by God and put others first. I know it can be hard because we’re human and we want “our stuff”. 

However, God’s word is clear. Let’s move over… go to the back and let God work.  The journey continues…

Faith Check!

Recently I had a tremendous revelation about my faith.

I realized my “faith walk” wasn’t as strong as I professed it to be. I had the externals in place. I prayed. I studied. I confessed. Yet I wasn’t getting the results.

At the end of the day, the Lord showed me that even though I believed in Him, I didn’t BELIEVE Him. My confessions have changed and I’ve challenged myself to go to a deeper level in my faith walk with Him.

It’s amazing what can happen when you really begin to believe God. How’s your faith?
