The first miracle of Jesus was turning water into wine. He took something simple as a jar of water and transformed it into the best wine. Jesus wants to do the same thing with us — for our hearts to be transformed and for us to follow him.

Hurry is the enemy of peace. When we wear ourselves thin or occupy our time with things that won't bring us closer to God, we find ourselves stressed, overtired, worn out, and impatient. Learning to have margin in our lives will lead us closer to Jesus and fill ourselves with the things that truly matter.

Technology can be a great tool. We can find out anything with a quick search and also watch our favorite movie. But this good thing can easily distract us from spending the time with God that we need. Overcoming this distraction and saying "no" when it starts to take up most of our time will lead us to a better relationship with God.

Our time is very important, but also very limited. How we choose to fill our time is what fills us up. Making decisions about saying no to the good things allows us to say yes to the best things.

We wear busyness like a badge of honor. Being busy is always a typical response when some asks how we are. Most of the time we fill our schedules we things that truly don't matter and wears us down. Creating margin in our lives will fill us up with what God truly desires for our lives.

When pride starts to take control, it can ruin our judgment, our relationships, and our faith. When our hearts become filled with pride, we begin to think we're invincible, above the rules, and have it all figured out. Learning how to stay humble and giving praise to God is the best way to overcome pride within ourselves.

All of us had times in our lives when we have listened to the wrong voices and tuned out the voice of God. Maybe you've made some decisions that you wish you can unmake. We tend to look for loopholes that speak for our actions. Don't talk yourself out of what God has called you into.

The way we are our own worst enemy is surrounding ourselves with people who say what we want to hear. Don't want to be your own worst enemy? The best way we can beat it is by desiring, pursuing, and receiving wise counsel.

One of the best ways to make a bad decision is to focus only on the moment. We don’t think about what this is going to mean down the road. The world tells us to do what makes us happy or you only live once. As a result, we end up marrying the wrong person, having financial crisis, or living with emotional scars. God wants us to think long-term so we can have a great God-honoring future.
