The biggest lie I believed, I think, is you always

The biggest lie I believed, I think, is you always reap what you always sow.

Don’t expect God to perform.

It’s not do good, get good. Do bad, get bad. That would be fair, and fair is not biblical.

It would be cool if God showed us what happened to the person that hurt our feels. It would be cool if we got a monetary deposit every time we did a good deed. It would be cool if liars pants really did catch on fire... but He doesn’t, we won’t, and they don’t.

There’s something to be said about doing good just to do it. When we do something expecting something- it’s not giving, it’s planning. They are not the same.

Be good people to be good, not to look good.

Never doubt the big things God has called you to d

Never doubt the big things God has called you to do, but also never ignore the “little” ones. Before we can ever be ANYTHING ELSE for the kingdom, we’ve got to first be obedient.

Let that sink in. You say it, but do you mean it?

Let that sink in.

You say it, but do you mean it?

You say it, but do you prioritize it?

You say it, but do people know it?

You say it, but is it the truth?

First means first. It means before, ahead of. It means literally coming before all others in time and in order.

We choose God first not if we have time to study his word, not if we can get everybody out the door on time for church, not if the policy and procedure allows us to discuss it, not if it comes up in conversation, not when it’s convenient. First.

When it’s uncomfortable.
When there’s consequence.
When it’s not convenient.

Before your husband, before your kids, before Netflix, before ball, before social media, before yourself.

Just because we say it, doesn’t mean it’s true.

Enneagram 1, Type A. I need to know.

I’m a person of structure and a lover of systems.

I’m human.

I want to know what God means when He tells me the things I’ll do. I want the timeline.

We want the instruction manual, when God only wants the next step.

He knows we’re a calculated people. It’s why we can only have a piece at a time.
If we saw the valley before we were sitting in it, would we still walk towards it?

If you knew how much work it would be or how much pain it would cause, would you still obey?

I’ve stood in so many different places I wouldn’t have picked for myself if I had known. I stand in some today.

But the best way to be sure of God’s faithfulness is to experience it for yourself. God will not lose His goodness, so in a place of uncertainty or opposition, don’t lose your faith.

We don’t need the plan, we just need the next step.

"And everyone did what was right in his own eyes"

"And everyone did what was right in his own eyes" Judges 21:25

We can’t teach God is forgiveness, but not offer

We can’t teach God is forgiveness, but not offer a seat at his table to those who need it.

I wonder how Joseph felt when his life didn’t line up with his vision?

First his brothers plotted to kill him, then they threw him in a pit only to pull him out and sell him instead.
He caught a break, only to get thrown into prison for something he didn’t do... helped a guy being sure that would be his ticket to freedom, only to be forgotten for another two years.

But then he was set over the land of Egypt.

Maybe your life doesn’t look like you think it should right now.. you saw something different or you planned something more.
I don’t know if you’re in the pit, or catching your breath before the next thing falls through or that person falls short, but I know what we can learn from Joseph.

God is good.
God is faithful.

God is God.

Let Him finish.

When we trust on the path, He will trust us with the promise. Just because you don’t know His plan, doesn’t mean He is without one. “And we know that for those that love God, all things work together for good” Romans 8:28

If the Bible is real... and our hearts are honest

If the Bible is real... and our hearts are honest with ourselves... according to this, how will we be judged? “Therefore you have no excuse, Oh Man, every one of you who judges. For I passing judgement on another, you condemn yourselves, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.... Do you suppose, Oh Man, you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself- that you will escape the judgement of God? OR DO YOU PRESUME ON THE RICHES of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness IS MEANT TO LEAD YOU TO REPENTANCE. But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourselves on the day of wrath when Gods righteous judgement will be revealed.” Romans 2: 1,3-5
