I recommend this clip (watch to 1:16:00):
About the time I watched this episode of Built For More I also read this from Jason Curry.
Before David faced Goliath publicly, he had already spent years walking with God privately.
The victory in the valley did not begin when the giant appeared. It began in the quiet places nobody saw.
In the fields.
In the solitude.
In the ordinary days of faithfulness.
That is how spiritual strength is built. Not through occasional moments of inspiration, but through consistent time with God.
Prayer.
Scripture.
Worship.
Obedience.
Do not underestimate what God is doing in the unseen seasons of your life. Stay faithful in the private places.
Many of the battles won publicly are first prepared for quietly in the presence of God.
– Jason Curry
These hit me hard!
Then I thought about this song:
“There’s a change a-coming. Let it start in me!”
I’m thankful for the work, the change, God has done in my life. I mess up all the time BUT He’s still working!
HE’S my root!
It Is The Unseen That Really Matters,
Let IT Start In Me!!
Do you know the root?
I believe salvation is as easy as ABC. Admit You’re A Sinner, Believe Jesus Is Lord, Call Upon His Name (Confess).
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:23-24
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
