The Bible is full of heroes who were "just some guy". Regular men and women who were chosen for glorious purposes. Even Jesus himself was seen as "just some guy" by those living around Nazareth. Let us never forget God can do amazing things with each and every one of us.

1 Samuel 17:12-33

Exodus 2:1-4

During Jesus' 3 short years of ministry, He proved that NOTHING was beyond His power. Furthermore, He proved that no struggle was too big, or too small, for His attention. We should all remember that when going to God in prayer, nothing's beyond Jesus.

God has an amazing plan for this world, and for each of us. It is up to us as believers to find that plan through Biblical study and prayer. And it is up to us to ensure His will is done.

Romans 8:18-39

Jesus called his followers "Salt of the Earth" & "Light of the World". Easy phrases to skim over. But upon deeper reflection, these phrases mean one thing. We (as God's children) are here to glorify God and all of His creation. And that includes our fellow man. Let us not tear down others but build them up. And in doing so magnify the love of God.

When we observe the amazing actions of Biblical heroes like Samson, David, Moses, and Elijah, we see that they don't "hope" God pulls through. No, these faithfull few simply "know" He will. That's why faith is more important than hope. Hope leaves room for doubt, but faith is absolute. 

We are in a "business partnership" with God. When we look at the covenants, we see that He often views us as equal partners in the caretaking of the world. But we failed, and hard. The Old Testament is full of the shortcomings of humanity. That's why God gave us "a new deal" or covenant. That's why God sent Jesus.

We were made in God's image, which means we are more like God than anything else in existence. So when He calls on us to forgive, He is calling on us to do the divine. But we all struggle with forgiveness of both ourselves and others. So how do we truly forgive the errors of our ways?
