This month our church has been corporately reading this Amazing book called "The Daniel Dilemma" by Chris Hodges. It has recklessly convicted and inspired me all at the same time.
You see we live in a culture & season of broken individuals... we ALL are wrestling with who we are & if we are not grounded in who's we are we become lost, depressed and not able to navigate life at our full potential.
For me this means living an uncompromising life and as a parent... it means being able not just to teach it but to walk it out. It is not easy always being in a place where we want to worship, or completely trust God in a difficult situation or even not allowing all the worlds static (political, Hollywood, etc) to influence our thoughts and our behavior. However if we look at Daniels life nothing was so different for him and yet he never compromised in any area. He dealt with all of these issues and never compromised his LOVE for God even when it meant his life.
You see convictions are all about the choices we make before we are challenged.
What strengthens these convictions so that we can walk our Faith out are...
1. WORSHIP
2. GOD'S WORD
3. HOLINESS
4. FAMILY
5. LIFE
6. HUMILITY
I don't always get it right , but I get my courage & find sustainability by choosing to keep a Christ centered life. Don't let culture or society try to explain away what God says is true and the truth is that God will always use the tests in our lives to make our faith stronger. Nearly every moment of our life is a test... allow it to navigate you to God and this is where you & I will live & walk in our FULL POTENTIAL!
