What do building an ark, talking to a burning bush, marching around a city's wall, a fiery furnace, a den of lions, a giant, a boy and his slingshot, a bloody cross and an empty tomb all have in common? These were all Defining Moments for Greatness!
Defining moments that allowed us to see what these individuals were made of and what they were made for...
Often the choices we make during critical moments will help "form" ourselves as well as inform others about who we really are. these "defining moments" give us the opportunity to stand up! instead of staying seated with the rest of the crowd...
Isaiah says, It is God who teaches us to profit (Isaiah 48:17)
- Profit (yawal)
- to ascend
- to achieve
- to excel to the next level
"God's desire is for us, as believers, to excel to the next level of accountability and responsibility - to raise the level of expectations..."So, my friends, when you find yourselves staring at a "defining moment"... an intersection in life... a chance for change...
it's only there to reveal who you are and WHOSE you are!
Stand firm in the Faith!
Pastor Jody
