Without a greater promise for our lives, we will retreat into preservation mode for our lives.  The greater promise is THE Promise, Jesus Himself.  This semester, we are running toward knowledge of the LORD through listening to His Word, moving toward faith that amazes Jesus, like the centurion in Matthew 8, and becoming into true disciples who lower our nets and obey Jesus.

Challenge:  Read a chapter from the Gospel of Matthew each day, ask the Lord what He is saying to you through that passage, and then do what He says.
