We often underestimate the power of a single seed, a single prayer. Yet it has the power to change anything and everything! When we're faithful in a posture of prayer, we don’t always experience the blessing right then and there. But we believe, that God will bless somehow, someway, somewhere.
Jesus was an incredibly busy man, but he often slowed down to rest and abide. His pace of life was unhurried. This is the goal of slowing down--we slowdown in order to abide in His presence. We have to reorder and structure our day where we are living unhurried, making the most of every moment by learning to be fully present to ourselves, to God, and others.
You might be just one decision, one moment away from a changed life! You will experience a few falls, and even a few fails. But sometimes “cutting the rope” is the way we cut the ribbon on the dreams God has given us, or the places God wants to take us.
Life is made up of little moments. So let's do the small things as if they are the big things, and let God take care of the rest!
For better or for worse, you are the sum total of your habits. Bad habits always come back to bite us. Good habits always come back to bless us. Either way, you cannot break the law of measures—it will make or break you. “With the measure you use,” Jesus said, “it will be measured unto you.” In other words, you’ll get out of it what you put into it. And by it, I mean anything and everything from your health, soul, your marriage. Winning the day is about eating frogs….let's learn together!
When we find ourselves in difficult situations, we get so focused on getting out of them, that we fail to get anything from them. There is nothing wrong with asking God to change your circumstances, but His primary objective is changing YOU! Kissing the wave starts with the courageous question: “What have you come to teach me?”
What area in your life would you like to grow in? Can you do it for a day? You have to take your life goals and reverse engineer them into daily habits. If you want to change your life, you have to change your story.
