We were not created to be average or mediocre. We have been summoned by God and empowered by His Spirit to step out of the crowd and be counted among the brave. We must refuse to hide among the riskless, mindless, zombielike flock. We must put on the mind of Christ and expose the world to the supernatural wisdom of the ages—wisdom that stuns the intelligent, silences the critics and transforms our cities and nations

God desires for you to understand your calling even more than you desire to know it for yourself. He is a faithful Father, and as you seek His face, He will begin to pour desires into your heart. These holy longings will eventually guide you toward your life vision.

Our present existence is the only time that is real. The past is lost, the future is not guaranteed, but living in the present will be the only way to truly make a difference in this life. Every moment is the best moment to release the love of God and begin our journey to change the course of history.

Serving the Lord does further my relationship with Him, but only to the extent that my serving is accompanied by intimate fellowship with Him. To merely spend time serving Him without spending time with Him is a recipe for a cold heart.

How do you know if you are making responsible or irresponsible decisions in life? What do you do when God leads you out of the comforts of your current season but has yet to show you the details of what comes next? Why doesn’t God just come down and verbally instruct us on what we are to do in every area of life?

What if we were able to view routine chores not merely as secular responsibilities but instead as spiritual undertakings? What if we truly lived out the Scripture “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31)? How would our perception change if we decided to even scrub the toilet with an attitude set on glorifying the Most High?

God is not interested in the size or scale of what someone achieves.  Instead, He looks at the faithfulness by which the individual accomplishes their God-given purpose.  Shoveling a walkway and preaching in a stadium have the same value to God as long as it is in obedience to each of our specific callings.
