change yourself

Our toughest change is changing ourselves.
Why is this so hard?  The Bible says "a way of a man is right in his own eyes."  Also, we judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions.  Another reason is, we usually look outside rather than inside our own lives.  The truth is, we all need to change.  Change is hard, but if we are truly following Jesus, change is a must.

All In

God doesn't bring the miracle until all our resources are spent, otherwise it wouldn't be a miracle.  When we find ourselves at the end of our abilities and resources, is truly when God's power begins.  It's when we combine faith with action that we step into the arena for God to work His miraculous power.  It's in those "All In" moments where God shows His power.  Do you have an area of your life where you have exhausted all your resources or have come to the end of your strength?  If so, you are a perfect candidate for a miracle.

ideas

Ideas can be powerful.

I think of all the great ideas I've had over the years that never made it beyond the thought level.
How many ideas have we wasted or just wasn't in the place with the resources, time or skills to pull it off?  How many ideas have we just dismissed or didn't give another thought because of an obstacle standing in the way?  Ideas CAN be powerful, but they must be implemented and nurtured to get to there.  What ideas do you have on the back burner?  What are you waiting for?
