The more we learn about The Bible and God, the more we should be able to trace back to the original plan for salvation!

Do you believe that you’re good enough for God? Did you know that He knows you better than you know yourself? Once you accept that, and ask God to lead your life, you will find that He’s been right there waiting patiently for you the whole time. Today Pastor Richard says you can’t prepare yourself for God. He prepared you! He created you! You are exactly as you should be. But once you begin your walk with Christ get ready to leave the old you behind.

Today Pastor Richard talks about leading in your Christian walk and being an example to others. It can feel difficult or even repetitive, and your excitement can start to fade.

How good is your spiritual radar? Today Pastor Richard says you need to have it, but be careful not to overuse it. Not everything is a sign from God. But you should be aware of, and even looking for, the things that are. When you aren’t sure, there are two ways to fact-check your intuition - read your bible and ask God for clarity during prayer. You will find your answer when you are spending regular time in The Word and in constant prayer with Him.
Acts 10 Part 1

If there’s one consistent message in the Bible, it's that God loves all His children! Everything and everyone has been created with a divine purpose. Today Pastor Richard reminds you to be encouraged by this fact. He adds some perspective to this by comparing God’s love of even the smallest creatures to how He loves you. You should find comfort in the knowledge that God loves you for you and isn’t keeping score or handing out points based on effort.

How many times have you been tempted to impose your will for God, instead of God’s will for you? It happens all the time, and today Pastor Richard says it could even be happening when you don’t realize it! Like Paul, you may be proud of the efforts you’ve made and the things you’ve done in the name of God, but it’s possible that it's all been for you. You have disguised your efforts unintentionally as the will of God while living out your will instead.
