When the Constitutional Convention came to a close in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?" Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."

In the life of the church, God has a calling for us...if we will follow it.

When things get tough, we have a tendency to look for someone who can lead us through them. We want someone who is bigger than us, stronger than us, or smarter than us to show us how we can overcome whatever we face.

But in our rush to find someone to lead us, we forget who we should really turn to in tough times. When times get tough, we need to turn to God.

There are times when we look toward the future and we are filled with uncertainty and anxiety. But in those moments when we're unsure and anxious about the future, it helps to look back to the past.

When we look back, we can see how God has been with us through tough times before. And if God was with us then, God is with us now...and in the future.

Although most of our faith is lived out on ordinary days, we'll all have face moments that require extraordinary faith. Moments like when Daniel faced the lion's den.

But what prepares us for these moments? Are we only able to face these extraordinary moments if we already have extraordinary faith? Or is there something we can do today to help us in life's biggest moments?

We spend a lot of time thinking about the big days — the holidays, the milestones, the moments we plan for months in advance. But most of life doesn't happen on those days. Most of life happens on ordinary days.

So how do we live out our faith on an ordinary day? Because God doesn't just want us to follow him on Christmas or Easter, he wants us to follow him every single day.
