We visited Tim at the camp he's working at for the summer. The staff members, at the beginning of their adult life, are enthusiastic and energetic. They would not tell you everything about their summer is perfect, but they would tell you they're blessed because they've become a community of friends, experiencing life together, purposefully making a difference in hundreds of kid's lives and in one another's lives.
Their attitude is not only contagious but worth mentioning, which at first glance would seem to come from their youthful perspective. But. After spending time with them, it's set in their words and actions, charging the atmosphere around them through the rooted conviction planted in them: All things are possible with God.
They've gone past the feeble, passive, pointless attitude that comes with shallow faith. Their life is defined by having a deep relationship with God, believing God is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do.Consider:
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer (Psalm 19: 14, TNIV).
When we take a moment to anchor the truth into our mind, soul, and heart: God is my Rock and my Redeemer, then, the day changes.
In other words, there is nothing and no one who can conquer you and I. Nothing is impossible with our Rock and our Redeemer. All things are possible!Refuse to live with a feeble, passive, pointless attitude that comes from shallow faith. Go deep with God. Believe God says who He is and will do what He says He will do: God is your Rock and your Redeemer.
Learning to Kickstart the day living in the presence and power my Rock and my Redeemer,
Kerrie
