midweek motivation 💪🏼

No matter how dark the night, no matter how despairing our circumstances, we’re never forsaken in the dark. Jesus is here. A great Light shines.

How are you prone to experience darkness and despair? Consider this image of Jesus as the great light—how does this light renew you with hope?

Prayer - God, there’s so much darkness. I fear sometimes that the darkness will overwhelm me. Be my great light. Shine on me with radiant love.

midweek motivation 💪🏼

We plan everything. From our education to careers to our relationships. We plan according to what we ‘think’ is good for us, but most of the time we choose what is ‘comfortable’ for us.

God calls us to a higher standard. God wants us to grow but so often we limit ourselves by having specifications of what we think we need instead of surrendering to what God has for us.

Gods plan might look different from ours. It might be more challenging and abit outside of our comfort zones, but nonetheless, it is the best plan for our lives.

midweek motivation 💪🏼 3 Kingdom Promises: 1

midweek motivation 💪🏼
3 Kingdom Promises:

1. God is close and is paying attention
There are no endings that God cannot overcome
We keep forgetting God is working a redemptive plan for us and through us.
God is close to you even if you think he isn’t because you are not close to him

2. God knows and cares about your pain and he has a plan
Pain has our full attention. It is hard for us to focus on anything else much less wait on God.
When he sees the anguish of his people, even when he knows the plan, he weeps for and with us.
His plan supersedes our impatience and he does not judge our disappointment.
Jesus lets us suffer because God will show us a deeper meaning to it.

3. God’s promises are made available and REAL in Jesus.

Many people look down on teenagers because of their age. They are still growing, learning and developing, but can still do incredible thing for God. For the next four weeks, we will be diving into four young people in the Bible who proved many wrong and did bold things for God.

midweek motivation 💪🏼 What does it mean to

midweek motivation 💪🏼

What does it mean to wait on God? To wait on God is not a stillness of physical movement nor stillness in our service unto the Lord, but a stillness in our mind.

We "WAIT" with expectancy, keep believing the promises in God word, keep trusting God, keep serving, keep praising and keep worshiping the Lord.
