I started anew business venture on Monday along with my father and my cousin. Jenni and I are both very excited about where this thing is heading. Who knew you could use the internet in such a powerful way? Partnering that with football starting and school on its way and life has gained some speed recently.
Jenni and I are reading Hebrews right now. The author is so quick to remind the Hebrew nation of the rebellious spirit of their forefathers and how God has to chasten them through the wilderness. often times we have a rebellious spirit and do not even realize it. Troubles come and we automatically start asking God why...well, I submit that our season of adversity is directly related to our spirit of rebellion. We have the gospel, the truth, the promise and hope of everlasting life...yet, we worry about car bills, paint combinations, draperies, family rifts, and the drama from yo momma...at the end of the day, salvation extends further than forever...it extends to the present, it extends to the NOW...it is so much easier for Christians to tell themselves " Thank goodness things will be better when we get to the other side." This is true...but things can BE BETTER RIGHT NOW...in whatever season we are in, we can still experience the abundant love of God and the incredible provision that partners alongside of that.
So, what's the bottom line? pray hard, pray long, Salvation is for NOW and forever...see you on the other side of your breakthrough.
