The World Does Not Revolve Around Me

840) It’s easy to think that without our presence, expertise, and contributions, the world would be in dire straits. On the one hand, God wants to use our lives and gifts for His purposes. Maybe God’s plan is for us to step back and support another who is doing a critical work for Him. John

Smooth Talkers

Out to Get You

832) Unfortunately, there are people out there who are out to get you. If you’re enjoying a time in your life when this isn’t happening, rejoice, but be prepared. It will happen eventually.

A Test

831) Sometimes in this life, we are tested. These tests come from multiple sources. They may be the test of loyalty, integrity, self-control or more. These situations call for choices to be made.
