2 CORINTHIANS 4:7 "We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." Today, be encouraged to know that the life you're leading and your pursuit to honor God isn't dependent on your perfection, your skill set, your abilities... It is directly dependent on your choice to say YES to Him and to trust that He will enable you to accomplish His purposes. It's about our obedience, not our superwoman mindset. You've got this!

Romans 8:26 ESV ..the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do ot kow hwat to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." Such a great conversation this morning with @Danielle Armold Reminder: The Lord is our STRENGTH... Blessings and grace

Who is in your boat? Luke 822-25 You can trust that you will make it to the other side - of the situation, the brokenness, the challenge, the trial... this life- because JESUS IS WITH YOU, and He is in complete control. Because He is at peace in the Father's plan, we can be too.

(I somehow didn't get the video from today recorded. However, we had a great conversation on Psalm 103. Below are the talking points) After reading from the scriptures today, here are some reflection questions for you. Focus on your IDENTITY IN CHRIST. - Blessed - Forgiven - Redeemed - Renewed PSALM 103:1-5 NIV Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. _______________________________________________________________________________ 1: What “benefits” (blessings) do you want to remember before the Lord today? 2: In what ways has God healed you? Not necessarily from physical illness or disease, but maybe from a spiritual perspective? (example: healed from bitterness/unforgiveness…anger/wrath, etc?) 3: Redemption is a word that reminds us of being “paid for” or something given in exchange for. What area of despair has God redeemed you from? What area of your past has He released you from shame and regret so you can praise Him fully without reservation? 4: How has God “crowned you with love and compassion”? Name a few of the blessings you have because of His generosity toward you. 5: What “good things” does God use to satisfy your soul these days? 6: “YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED.” What mental image do you have or what do you remember about being young, carefree, and invincible…? 7: LIKE THE EAGLE: Look up this video about THE EAGLE and reflect on what it measure for the Lord to renew your youth… LIKE THE EAGLES. 1. Fly alone at a high altitude 2. Have vision 3. Be fearless 4. Be tenacious 5. Don’t consume what is spiritually dead/decaying 6. Fight for your spiritual territory 7. Be prepared/trained 8. Demonstrate your vitality

I'm considering the holiday season approaching and the fruit of the Spirit. Feel free to respond and reflect with me on this: ➡️What might change in our relationships if we stopped measuring success by how well other people respond and began measuring faithfulness by how we respond to them?
