Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective. Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.

Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. Thought on judging others Are you judging others? Are you quick to pass judgment on another? Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? (Romans 14:4) Many times a critical person is someone with the gift of discernment who doesn’t choose to operate in love. Judging means to discern and decide OR to condemn. Since Jesus didn’t come into the world to condemn it (John 3:17), we know we need to understand the times we’re told to judge it means to discern and decide. 4 Tips to Live LIGHT Above Judging others Check your fruit

#LiveHopeful. Anytime our situation, or health or relationship hits an impossible set of circumstances we need to know how to #LiveHopeful. #LiveHopeful with God May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 God is the God of hope. He fills us with all peace and joy as we trust in Him so that we’ll overflow with hope by the power of Holy Spirit. It’s not pie-in-the-sky-in-the-sweet-bye-and-bye. It’s real hope. We know we have it when we have real peace. #LiveHopeful is not an option Everything not done in faith is sin. Everything not done in love is useless. Everything not done in hope is impossible to endure. Hope is essential for endurance and persistence is essential for hope. Remember what the Bible is for… Everything in the Bible was written to teach us that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Do you read the Bible or do you the Bibl

Hope right and give back when get back more than you lost, it’s so natural to give back. Let’s look at what happened when David did that. Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him and who were left behind at the Besor Ravine. They came out to meet David and the people with him. As David and his men approached, he greeted them. But all the evil men and troublemakers among David's followers said, "Because they did not go out with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered. However, each man may take his wife and children and go." David replied, "No, my brothers, you must not do that with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and handed over to us the forces that came against us. Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike." David made this a statute and ordinance for Israel from that

Hope right and recover more than you lost. Learn how to be confident you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Hope Right The payoff with hope is that you can recover more than you lost. It’s not guaranteed. It’s not a five-step formula. But if we learn to trust God with the outcome, we will come out further ahead…eventually. David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives. Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back. He took all the flocks and herds, and his men drove them ahead of the other livestock, saying, "This is David's plunder.” The good news about David’s story is that when the worst happened and he lost everything he did the right things. He strengthened himself in the Lord. He asked God what to do. He obeyed what he was told. He let others cope how they could. He attacked. And he recovered more than he lost. You can too. Hope Right, don’t l

Identity and authority are necessary to hope. This isn’t a quick lesson. But you’ll learn where to start today. I go into more detail in my books and my classes and my coaching . Hope has been a motivator in my life and I’ve learned how to hope in some really hard times. It’s not the same kind of hard times you’ve had to go through, because your journey is different than mine. But we all need to know how to battle for hope. He led David down, and there they were, scattered over the countryside, eating, drinking and reveling because of the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah. 1 Samuel 30:16 Identity and Authority is needed to hope David and his men have lost everything in an attack on Ziklag. David strengthened himself in the Lord, he asks God what to do, he gets a plan and gets moving. Then a bunch of his men need to stay behind the rest go forward and attack. That’s where we’re at in the story. To hope you need to make use of your

Hope needs momentum, even if it’s a little. Learn what you can do today to have a little more hope. David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Ravine, where some stayed behind, for two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the ravine. But David and four hundred men continued the pursuit v.9-10 Hope needs momentum and trust Remember to hope, we need to trust God. Don’t forget we need to trust God with our whole heart. That means it’s not just an emotion - which should be peace, it means a decision of the mind but it’s action that needs to take place to show our hope is in God. When David and his men took off, two hundred were too tired to continue and David told them to stay and look after the bags so the rest could pursue faster. That is the thing that each of us need to understand when our health, finances or relationship is attacked. After we’ve made the decision to obey, it’s not that we need to do a lot. It is that we need to do something. Hope needs momentum, even

We need to remember to hope we need to refocus from the pain the the promise. How do you do that? You can and must. Here’s how… David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Ravine, Refocus from the pain to the promise There is a shift in David’s story in 1 Samuel 30 when him and his men turn from the pain they feel and mov into attack mode. The same thing happens to us. It’s easy for us to get stuck on something. It happened to me. After my heart attack I was focused on what I could do and what I could control. I could only control how I exercised and what I put into my body. But there came a time for me to do more. One day I was journaling and I wrote down what I felt God was responding to me. I was surprised to write. “You’ve been accepting and lamenting, now it’s time to start receiving and believing.” I needed to realize that while I had boundaries for what I could do, and it might be true I could never do again what I used to do, those boundaries are blessing boundarie
