Devotional
Being An Overcomer
For whatever reason, this year has been harder than the last few. I know I have written about the mechanically and technical challenges our company has experienced, but not of the attacks of a new company that has badgered promoters to move from our company to theirs for their streaming needs. We were even told they intended to put all of their competition ‘out of business’.
A Faithful Man
Faith has been and will always be the biggest factor in our lives as Christ followers. It is difficult to hold on to the Lord when man is telling you to do something different. Man is success driven. Where is the next mountain to climb or the next area to be conquered? You are in control, you have to make the decisions, you are responsible for the outcome. These are the lies of the enemy of our souls.
Making the Lord Our Banner
Life is crazier today than it has ever been. The world seems to be spiraling out of control at every turn and the financial hits just keep on coming for our teams. Between lost jobs, a need to replace or repair equipment, it makes you want to go screaming into the night. If not that, at least you’d look at the circumstances of life and decide YOU need to do something to handle your problems.
Learning to Stand
Over the last few weeks, we have lost nearly $25,000. Between weather canceled events and unexpected equipment repairs, the hits just kept on coming. With other challenges looming in the future, it has been unnerving to say the least…quit has never looked better.
Perception Is Not Reality
I love our Fathers timing in how He speaks to me as an individual and us as His children. Since I started writing these supplemental devotionals, each time this particular devotional about perception comes through the rotation, it speaks specifically to my current situation.
Performing Miracles With Your Staff
As I listened to a message from Steven Furtick this past week, I heard this statement from the Lord, “We underestimate what we can do with what He has given us.” Let that thought sink in for a moment and think about where you live, what you do for a living and the talents and gifts the Lord has given you to accomplish the work He has set down for you.
Being a Person Under Authority
After nearly 30 years in the military, I understand being under authority. As an enlisted man you always worked for someone. Perhaps it was your flight chief or the aircraft commander or the squadron commander, regardless, you took orders from someone above you. There are no positions in the military, officer or enlisted, that allowed you absolute authority, even the presidents have to answer for their actions.
