:
: My thoughts today encourage you, “Don’t
: Settle For Less.”
: By Pastor Allen Randolph
:
: People are usually changing in some measure,
: not always noticeably or quickly, but
: changing nevertheless. The passing of time,
: changing circumstances, and life experiences
: affect changes in you and others more than
: you might realize at the moment. Often the
: It is easy to assume that you are the same
: and others remain the same as they were,
: when that may not currently be true.
:
: Sometimes the people who once knew you best
: don’t know you presently as well as they
: think. That happened to Jesus. He went home,
: home to Nazareth, where He had grown up and
: was well known by the villagers and
: neighbors as “the carpenter’s son” of Joseph
: and Mary. Read Matthew 13:54-58 NIV. But
: Jesus did not appear to them to be the same
: then as when they had known Him earlier. He
: really was the same as He had always been,
: just not the same as they had previously
: known Him. Change is the price of growing
: and becoming.
:
: There was a single-mindedness and divine
: purpose that pushed Him on the way. They
: assumed everything was as it had been, but
: things were not as they had been and neither
: was Jesus. What was their reaction? “They
: were offended and refused to believe in
: Him.” Matthew 13:57 NLT. Jesus was on a
: journey toward His destiny.
:
: You also are on a journey to your destiny;
: your destiny is the calling that God has
: placed upon your life. Don’t settle for
: less. Too many will. However wonderful your
: history, it is not better than the destiny
: that awaits you. God is at work in you,
: directing your steps, blessing your efforts,
: opening and closing doors, relating you to
: needed friends and companions, and leading
: you each day. Every step in that direction
: requires a measure of change – laying aside
: things that hinder your progress and
: embracing all that serves the process.
: People around you may not notice that
: happening nor necessarily encourage you as
: it does.
:
: There will likely be reactions – positive or
: negative. Some rejoice; some react. Some are
: encouraged by what they see; others may feel
: threatened, or just confused. Whatever the
: reaction of others, you must keep moving
: forward. Read Philippians 3:10-16 NLT/John
: 1:12 KJV. Some are wrongly content to live
: in what was comfortable and familiar. Memory
: lane is a good place to visit, not so great
: a place to live. Those who do so are
: compromising their future.
:
: Remember; if you are walking with God, you
: are somebody going somewhere. Be thankful
: for those who join the journey, but don’t
: become discouraged or dissuaded by those who
: can’t, or who won’t. See 2 Corinthians
: 5:16-18 NLT.
:
:
: My prayer for you today is to rise above the
: offenses that would distract you.
:
: K-Love’s Encouraging Words:
:
: Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be
: courageous. Be strong.
:
: ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13, NLT
:
:
:
: Let us hold tightly without wavering to the
: hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to
: keep his promise

: ~ Hebrews 10:23, NLT
