Where the world exalts pride, the Kingdom of God honors humility. When you think of humility, what comes to mind? In our world, humility is not something often celebrated, or accepted. We would rather be seen as powerful, influential, and important.
Think about it: God made you. God put you here, at this specific time in history. God has a plan and purpose for your life. Not only that, but He gave you a brain that thinks, a heart that beats, and lungs that breathe. He gave you talents and abilities, hopes and desires. He gave you ears and eyes, muscles, and ligaments. And He positioned you on this planet that happens to be in the ideal position in our solar system for life to thrive. You are a part of God's plan.
Years ago my plans were interapted, but they became the most foundational steps I've ever taken, I gave ministry a chance, and have not looked back since.

We humans plan, but God establishes those plans in action.

Our sinful nature ( flesh) desires things that are contrary to the spirit. In fact, spirit and flesh are opposites of each other. Spirit focuses on how it’s spiritually beneficial, whereas flesh focuses on how it can benefit physically. For example, when spirit desires to pray, or fast, or do anything to grow and develop spiritually, our flesh declares a war!

There is confusion in the church about giving, Paul clarifies the purpose of giving. He says the purpose is not to give under pressure, but to give from the heart.

Run and not grow weary, walk, and not faint ! With perseverance and determination, not giving up, but looking forward with strength and courage, embracing the journey ahead!
James, the half-brother of Jesus, couldn’t believe that his flesh-and-blood sibling was the actual Son of God—until He rose from the dead. Then, he was convinced.
Here are five things to note from James’ mini-sermon:
- First, the text says “when troubles of any kind come your way…”
- Second, the text says “when troubles of any kind come your way…”
- Third, the text connects hardships with the testing of our faith.
- Fourth, the text says, especially during difficult seasons or situations, to “consider it an opportunity for great joy.” Happiness is dependent on circumstances, but joy is accessible no matter what.
- Fifth, the text implies that troubles, trials, or difficulties all create space for endurance to grow.
So when you’re faced with hard things and can’t understand why, consider it an opportunity for great joy. That’s when you know that you’re growing and becoming more like Him.
