Too often, we get more focused on our own, temporary gratification instead of focusing on our eternal gratification. That’s not to say that we can’t enjoy our life here on earth, the opposite, actually. Individually focusing more on God and prioritizing Him in our own life is the first step toward finding that which our heart truly desires. Continue reading “Finding Fulfillment”
Learn to Doubt Your Doubts
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
Doubt, at it’s worst, is the opposite of faith.
The devil preaches sermons of doubt, but it’s our responsibility to deal with them correctly.
We trust the bridges we drive over daily, but we still sometimes hesitate to fully trust our lives in the hands of God.
Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. (Matthew 21:21)
It’s vital that we practice taking our thoughts captive. When we don’t do this, we end up falling into the everyday stress, worries and struggles of the world.
It really is time that we stop doubting God and start doubting the doubt itself. It’s time that we allow our doubts to become stepping stones towards spiritual growth.
Becoming Faithful in the Small Things
If we are faithful in the small things, God will trust us with the larger.
If you are faithful in the little things, you will be faithful in the large ones. But if you are dishonest in the little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. (Luke 16:10)
We mustn’t miss today while focused on tomorrow.
This may seem counter-intuitive at first thought, but it is vital that we become faithful in the day-to-day, minute-by-minute, and the little-by-little things.
So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time. (Matthew 6:34)
Perhaps God is saying to stop living for tomorrow so much and start living more for today.
