Start Your Day With Faith

Being saved is kind of scary, isn't it.  How will I be different?  What if it doesn't stick?  The upside of life is found on the other side of salvation.  Go ahead, just ask.

You can run out of gas, run out of food, run out of money.  But you will never run out of an opportunity to learn.  Learning is the way to grow opportunity, and learning will never run out.

It's true, we can handle more than we can imagine.  The song, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, is a great example of the strength that God creates in us.  So when the need arrises, we do have the strength.  Even when we don't think we do.

We're all good at something, and something is what God wants us to use to glorify his name.  Discover what you're really great at, then turn that spuerstar skill towards God.  He will let you know how to use it.

Don't pull the ADHD card when it comes to keeping focus on God.  This is anything but ADD.  Start your day with that focus, kind of like you've done with this Podcast.  Well done!

Like Mr. Rogers, consider doing this every day.  Look around you and then discover a way to do something for someone else.  That's love and that's what God intended for each of us to have and do, every day.

We have a voice, we have hands to do things, but so many times we are confounded by HOW can I do something that can glorify my creator.  Just little old me.  Know what?  YOU are a stronger force than you think.

Answer is, it's not that big of a task. That's because God gives us the instruction book.  It's an easy read.

We do not have the capacity alone to show grace.  Only through God can we move beyond the obvious and work with a situation that resolves in His grace.

Usually when someone says "trust me", you run the other way.  When God says it, you would be smart to listen.

God does not require us to sing on-tune.  And no pitch correction is necessary.  You won't hit all the right notes every time, but make sure you sing from your heart and soul.  

We are sometimes so focused on our well-being, we forget that we have enough of us left over to share some smiles with someone else.  

Some say they have been given a sneak peak.  Do we really want to know, or is it better to anticipate?  

Religion has a way of turning into a business. That's because it has a human element.  Have you ever experienced faith turing into dollars and cents?  Crossting the line is never what God intended church to be.  Church is God and God is centric to making it successful.

Temptation is everywhere we exist.  Not easy to ignore but it becomes a little easier when you put God first.

First place or nothing.  Uncomfortable, but that space requires some special thinking.  Have a conversation with God to see what He thinks?

We are all naturall focused on US, right?  So, how do we take that focus and look around US, instead?  Someone can use our help.

Doubt is an emotion we all struggle with, because when things don't go our way, we believe that God forgot about us.  Here's the deal, God doesn't forget about anyone, even you.

Sometimes bad habits stop when we are confronted with a negative result, like a health episode or some other kind of issue.  Bad habits are broken when they start with a conversation with God.  He has the answer just for you.

Faith should be a good habit. One that you practice daily.  Too many times we leave faith at the church on Sunday.  Try to make that Sunday an every day in your life.  That's how you keep it stronger.

Anger is like a cancer.  It will destroy you and those around you.  Letting go of anger is not easy, but it is a path to resolution.  Ask God how you can take those first steps.

First, don't try so hard.  God has given us the power to tell His story.  Just be yourself and you will discover that God who lives in you, is a powerful message for others.  

You go through your day and wonder if what you have done will make a difference.  Truth is, if they do, you have shown devotion.

A whsiper is louder than a yell.  Speak softly, and make sure the words you are using, are centic to God.  Your voice will be heard around the world.

Even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.  God can see where we are and where we will be when the crisis passes.  Hope is the thread that is strong enough to get us there.
