Break the Algorithm
How are you programed to think about future challenges? Are you going to keep doing things the same way and expect different results? We all know what that leads to (INSANITY). Start leaning into the Holy Spirit each and every day. Remember, the Holy Spirit is not just some ethereal cloud hovering around, but the THIRD person of the Trinity. Yes, start thinking of the Holy Spirit as a person that will walk with you and guide you out of your set patterns and help you make new patterns that will take you on a new adventure toward a hope-filled tomorrow!
What’s In A Name?
When it comes to identity, there is a lot of power in a name. If you were given a name based on things that were true about you, what would your name be? Throughout Scripture, the concept of identity or naming is very important to God. Naming demonstrates authority and it also reveals intimacy and happens in the context of relationships.
Just Believe
Where do you find your own identity? In successes, accomplishments, or maybe sinful patterns, or even our shame. “I’m an addict,” and “I’m a leader” are both identity statements. When we let our successes or our sins define us, it can become more difficult to embrace the identity God has for us. Our identity is not because of anything we have done or will do (good or bad), but everything that Christ has done, which means that we can rely entirely on Him despite our shortcomings and failures!
