I love the motto of the 22nd Aircraft Squadron who participated in the 1975 Operation Babylift in Saigon . . . "Anything, Anywhere, Anytime." These heroes risked their life to rescue 2,000 babies and children, orphaned, living on the streets of Saigon in the midst of a troubled and dangerous time. The thing is . . . true heroes are the individuals who face life with intentional and purposeful courage and strength. . . holding themselves to the highest standard of honor, integrity, and selflessness.
This is the standard of Christ, a wholehearted, non-negotiable, courageous, and strong life. But. It is only possible when we yield ourselves to the Spirit rather than to our flaws and fears. Though God promises to be with us, it is our choice to fully yield to Him. No matter what we are up against, we can push through it, even when it seems impossible, even when there are 2,000 orphans needing to be rescued in the streets of a war-torn country, because the power of Christ is as close as His presence.
Keep the standard of Christ through the power of the Spirit . . . anything, anywhere, anytime.
Learning to Kickstart the day living the standard of Christ . . anything, anywhere, anytime.

With God, we can face whatever comes at us . . . anything, anywhere, anytime.Consider.
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong (1 Corinthians 16:13).Think on these four points of living:
- Be on your guard, set guardrails in every area of life, intentionally living the best life God has planned, body, mind, and soul--seeking God in prayer and His word, keeping accountable to Christ.
- Stand firm, refuse to think, say, or do anything that dishonors Christ.
- Be courageous, remember the day is an opportunity to live for Christ.
- Be strong, refuse to yield to your flaws or fears, remember Christ's strength is in you.
Keep the standard of Christ through the power of the Spirit . . . anything, anywhere, anytime.
Learning to Kickstart the day living the standard of Christ . . anything, anywhere, anytime.
