The True Sign of Maturity

-
[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

Giant Slayer

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment.

Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

Full and Running Over

-
"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full--pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back." (Luke 6:28 NLT) Jesus talked about how when we give it will be given back to us good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. What does that mean, pressed down? Think about this: Have you ever made chocolate chip cookies? The recipe calls for three-fourths of a cup of brown sugar. When you pour the brown sugar in the measuring cup, it’s so thick and dense, even when it hits the mark for three-fourths, you have to press it down. When you do you can put in about twice what it looked like themeasuring cup could hold. That’s what God is saying to us today. When you look full, you think you’re blessed, God says, “That’s fine but I’m an overflow God. I’m a more than enough God. I’m going to press it down and show you my favor in a new way.”...
