1). Just Eat It!
John 4:34
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
Let me ask you some questions. What drives you? What sustains you? What makes you keep going when others have given up?
It is very true that without the appropriate nourishment our natural bodies would first grow weary, then they would begin to deteriorate and finally expire completely.
2). Sometimes It’s Good To Feel Bad
“I did it again. I know I shouldn’t have but I did anyway. And then it happens…the remorse. I start to feel so bad. Like God is displeased with me or something. It’s just the enemy trying to trick me with condemnation. I’ve read my Bible and I know it says that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. That means I shouldn’t feel bad or disappointed in myself.
3). People of Influence
There are a lot of things around us that would love to change our mind. Everywhere we turn we find the opinions of the so called masses. They all seek our attention and hope to distract us from Jesus, the only Truth that really matters. Jesus points out some of those distractions in Mark 8:15.
Mark 8:15 15 - Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
4). Making Good Decisions
Do you ever feel like every decision you make is wrong. You want to do the right thing but no matter how hard you try you end up doing the wrong thing. It's like, If given the option of two answers with only one answer being correct you would have a 99.8% chance of getting it wrong. It almost seems rigged.
Many of us feel like that quite often. Not just because we actually did choose the wrong answer but even when we've made a good choice, it still feels wrong.
5). A Person and Their Dream
It's a nice thought isn't it, you and your dream. It has been said that nothing is impossible if you have a dream. In fact in the Wizard of Oz we heard Dorothy sing this line. "And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true." There is no doubt that a dream left un-pursued will never be realized, but is daring to dream enough? You find a dream fulfilled and more times than not you will find not one but many dreamers who not only dared to dream, but dared to act.
