Need some good news? Our God is big enough to oversee the whole world and in the same breath He is loving enough to care about you. When we invite God’s presence to inhabit our daily lives, we set ourselves apart from the things of the world. Being in His presence is not dependent on us being in a particular place or in a certain circumstance. Rather it is dependent on simply our decision and determination to keep God in front of us at all times. When we make that daily decision, our posture towards everyday encounters change. The way we talk to people, love people, react towards people; it all shifts and in turn comes from a Godly presence. May we all be still and know that He is God as His presence makes all the difference in our lives.

“Be still, and know that I am God!”

It seems that many of us feel uncomfortable talking about the topic of Hell. Yet, Jesus talks about this topic more than all of the other New Testament authors combined. We often try to avoid it as if it doesn’t exist. However, when we live our lives disregarding the reality of Hell, we begin living with less conviction, less sacrifice, and less regard to Jesus.

Legacy is not about being famous - it’s about living a life that honors God. It’s not an event, but a lifestyle. We live legacy lives when we love God, love people, and invest in something bigger than ourselves. A life lived for simply ourselves is uninspiring and dies merely with us. However, a life lived for others goes beyond just us and touches lives even after we are gone. Let us all accept the call to live a life of legacy!

“Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.”

Having a heavenly mindset is especially important for advancing the kingdom. Not just advancing the kingdom in our own lives but advancing the kingdom on this earth. When we forcefully and with intention grab hold of the kingdom of heaven we in turn advance it here on earth.

Living with a heavenly mindset means we understand the future that is to come. We understand that our future, our eternity, is with Christ. So what are we doing today to keep an eternity driven mindset while we are still on Earth?
