Do you know that God won't allow anyone to define your destiny — without your permission? Yet, many people allow the low and negative expectations of others to hold them back. In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez's story teaches us a profound lesson: How we define ourselves supersedes how others (even our parents) define us.
Have you allowed other people’s opinions of you to hold you back? If you answered “Yes,” you’re not alone. Every day, countless people shortchange their potential because someone else thought they were inexperienced, unqualified, too damaged, or just not good enough. – Well I have good news: God disagrees with them!
Have you noticed that no matter how long you’ve been saved, walking in love never gets easy? Just as we overcome one level of aggravation, life throws us a more intense level of trying irritation!
Although we have been set free from the law of the Old Testament, choosing to honor the Sabbath can do a great deal for our physical health, internal peace, and overall well-being.
Our thoughts — whether positive or negative — are the building blocks that shape our lives. Who we are, what we feel, and what we eventually do are determined by what we think.
